Coral Reef Hat

This hat features a variation of the same eye-catching, travelling rib motif that I originally developed for my previous designs, the [Coral Reef Wrap](/patterns/library/coral-reef-wrap-2) and [Coral Reef Socks](/patterns/library/coral-reef-socks-3). The mesmerizing branch motifs do not require working cables but are achieved with simple increases/decreases. The hat comes in 2 different lengths as shown and can be adjusted to a more fitted beanie version if preferred. Fully written row-by-row as well as charted instructions are provided so you can choose which you prefer to work from. I hope you enjoy the pattern! ---- ---- SIZE To fit approx. 52-58 cm / 20.5-22.75“ head circumference with slight negative ease (due to the ribbing it’s quite stretchy and will easily fit a wide range of sizes). YARN Designed for DK weight yarn. Sample yarn: Sandnes Garn Double Sunday (DK weight, 100% Non Superwash Merino Wool, 50 g = 108 m / 118 yds), • 2 complete balls (100 g = 216 m / 236 yds) used in colour 6707 Steel Grey (long grey version with taller brim), • 1.81 balls (91 g = 195 m / 214 yds) used in colour 3552 Nougat (shorter brown version with shorter brim). GAUGE & NEEDLES 28 sts x 32 rounds = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4“ in 2/2 ribbing after washing and gentle blocking. Needles: 3.5 mm / US 4 needles for knitting in the round (samples were knitted using the magic-loop method on a 100 cm long cable), or size to obtain gauge. ---- ---- *This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and well testknitted.
