My Canada

This hat is a celebration of all things Canadian. If you were to ask one of us Canucks, what symbols best represent Canada, all our answers would be different. So, I would be doing all lovers of Canada a disservice by only offering one design. That's why this pattern offers 20 different colourwork charts, so you can build *YOUR* Canada. From a variety of Names and Sayings (Canuck, eh!) to definitively Canadian sports (Hockey, Lacrosse, Curling) to symbols representing our Land and diverse Cultures (Mountains, Trees, Totem Poles, Inukshuks) you will be able to build a hat that tells everyone, 'This is *My* Canada.' I hope you enjoy the pattern **Sizes Available:** * S/M, which will fit up to a 22" circumference * M/L, which will fit up to a 24" circumference **Yarn:** * While my hat was knit with a DK weight, this pattern is written for either Fingering, DK, or Worsted weight yarn * I used Colour Adventures Merino Love DK in Pewter, Nyx, Sour Cherry and Polar. Colour Adventures yarn can be found at https://atwistofyarn.com/collections/colour-adventures * Yardage requirements will vary based on the yarn and designs you choose, but to be safe, I recommend having at least 30g of yarn per colour used. I also recommend using at least 3 colours. **Needles:** * For Fingering and DK: 3.00mm and 3.50mm needles on a 16" cord, plus 3.50mm DPN's or 40" cord for magic loop * For Worsted Weight: 3.75mm and 4.50mm needles on a 16" cord, plus 4.50mm DPN's or a 40" cord for magic loop **Gauge:** * Fingering weight: 26 sts / 4" * DK weight: 24sts / 4" * Worsted weight: 20sts / 4" **Additional Materials Needed:** * Stitch Marker, Scissors, Darning Needle, pompom (if desired) and a healthy dose of good old Canadian pride!
