All Together Now Hat

This hat is a tribute to the amazing indie dyers that I was able to work with during my first year designing knitting patterns. The phrase **All Together Now** references the Beatles song by the same name, inspired by the music hall tradition of asking the audience to join in, prompting knitters to join in sharing in the fiber community. The **All Together Now Hat** is a stranded colorwork design for a beanie hat. This pattern is knit in the round using circular needles, from the bottom up. Instructions are **written for Fingering, DK, and Worsted weight yarn**. Be sure to review the information for the chosen weight yarn for appropriate yardage and follow the specific instructions for that weight in order to ensure correct cast on stitch count and decrease location. Instructions are written to **knit a single or double (folded) brim**. Both versions use twisted ribbing, however, the folded version is knit twice as long, before folding back on itself and grafting together for a cozy thick brim. **Size** Toddler, Kids, Teen [Adult Small, Medium, Large] **Finished Measurements –Approximate (see schematics)** Circumference: 16, 18, 19 [20, 21, 22.5] in (40.5, 46, 48 [50.8, 53.5, 57] cm) Height: 7, 8, 8 [9, 9, 10] in (18, 20, 20 [23, 23, 25.5] cm) NOTE: Typically knit hats are sized for negative ease.
