Aurora Cabin Hat

*This winter hat is knit with five colors of DK weight yarn. Begins with the ribbed brim and then continue with colorful slip stitch stripes. You only have to work with one color at a time as the slip stitches create a beautiful texture woven effect in the fabric. The small color pops are ideal for using leftover bits of yarn. The folded brim keeps your head cozy and warm.* **Finished Measurements** 19′′ / 48cm circumference, 10′′ / 25cm tall from brim to crown when brim is folded. Measurements taken after blocking. The hat stretches comfortably to fit up to a 24′′ / 61cm head circumference. The sample is modeled on a 22.5′′ / 57cm head circumference. **Yarn** DK weight **Yardage** 365yds / 335m total Color A - 165yds / 151m Color B - 50yds / 46m Color C - 50yds / 46m Color D - 50yds / 46m Color E - 50yds / 46m Color A is the brim color. **Shown in** *Black & Grey Hat* Color A - West Wool Tandem in Copenhagen Color B - West Wool Tandem in Mouse Color C - La Bien Aimée Corrie Worsted in Sandstone Color D - West Wool Tandem in Pebble Color E - West Wool Tandem in Birch Tree *Green Hat* Color A - West Wool Tandem in Norway Color B - Mominoki Yarn German Merino in Smoky Yellow Color C - Walk Collection Merino DK in Artichoke Hearts Color D - Spincycle Yarns Dream State in Shades of Earth Color E - West Wool Tandem in Glass *Red Hat* Color A - La Bien Aimée Corrie Worsted in Coquelicot Color B - La Bien Aimée Corrie Worsted in Lichen Color C - West Wool Tandem in White Peach Color D - La Bien Aimée Corrie Worsted in Caramel Color E - La Bien Aimée Corrie Worsted in Highgarden ***Needles*** US 5 / 3.75mm circular in 40′′ / 100cm length or 2 size smaller than the larger needle US 7 / 4.5mm circular in 40′′ / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge Magic loop method is used for knitting in the round.
