Needles: 6,0 mm/US 10 circular needles and a set of double point needles US 10 to finish it off.

Yarn: I used Lion Brand Wool Ease: mushroom 403 for the adult hat, and I used an unlabeled wool for the smaller hat (sorry) I would recommend any worsted wool size 4.

Notions: tapestry needle

Gauge: 17 k = 4 inches, 20 rows = 4 inches

Notes:

• Once pattern is established the pattern will move to the right by one stitch after every row.
• Established pattern is 11 +1 stitches. So if you are wanting to make a smaller or larger hat add or take away 11. Example a baby hat would be 78 stitches.

Stitches Used: knit (k), Purl(P), Right twist (RT), knit 2 together(K2tog) , K2togb

Special stitches:

• Right Twist (RT): Knit 2 together keeping both stitches on the left needle, knit into the first stitch, then pull both stitches onto the right needle, stitch complete.

• Left Twist(LT): Knit through the back loop of the 2nd st, keep the stitch on the left needle, knit in the first stitch, then pull both stitches onto the right needle, stitch complete.
