Painting Bricks Hat

*This DK weight hat is quick and fun to knit with the slip stitch brick pattern. Choose one main color and accent it with as many contrast colors as you like. This hat is knit in the round from the brim toward the crown with a cozy folded brim. A squishy DK weight wool like West Wool Tandem will make the coziest colourful accessory.* **Finished Measurements** 17” / 43cm circumference. Shown on a 21.5” / 55cm head circumference. The hat comfortably stretches to fit up to a 23” / 58cm head circumference. For a more relaxed fit on a larger head size, I recommend aiming for a gauge of 20 – 22 sts = 4” / 10cm in Brick pattern. **Yarn** DK weight **Yardage** MC - 140yds / 128m CC - 60yds / 55m total **Shown in** West Wool Tandem **Blue Hat** MC - True Blue CC - White Peach, Aquamarine, Prince, Cornflower, Glass **Orange Hat** MC - Beatrix CC - White Peach, Powder, Glow, Roswitha, Berry **Needles** US 4 / 3.5mm circular in 40” / 100cm length or 1 size smaller than main needle US 5 / 3.75mm circular in 40” / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge Magic loop method is used for knitting in the rnd. **Notions** 1 stitch marker, tapestry needle **Gauge** 24 sts & 40 rnds = 4” / 10cm in Brick pattern (4 rows garter stitch + 4 rows stockinette stitch) using larger needles before blocking **Westknits Workshops** Venture into the world of Westknits with my series of online workshops.
