This unique hat, made with a moebius twist, is deceptively simple to knit. The main portion of Quincy is worked as a flat strip of garter stitch, knit back-and-forth with built-in I-cord on both sides. When this piece reaches sufficient length, the fabric is given a half-twist and the ends are then grafted together using kitchener stitch. You will now have a moebius strip from which you will pick up crown stitches. Crown shaping is worked traditionally, in the round, from this point onward to close the top. -------------------------------------------------------- **Construction** * The body of the hat begins with a Provisional Cast On and is worked flat in garter stitch with an I-cord edging on both sides. * Upon completion of the body section, the fabric is given a half-twist to create a moebius strip and the ends are grafted together using Kitchener Stitch. * Construction/folding illustrations are included to show the folding process. * Stitches are picked up from one edge of the moebius strip for the crown, which is then worked traditionally in the round. **Yarn** 1 skein Brooklyn Tweed *Quarry* (100% American Targhee-Columbia wool; 200 yards/100 grams) Photographed in color *Obsidian* **Yardage** 120 yards of chunky weight wool yarn **Gauge** 15 stitches and 28 rows (14 ridges) = 4 inches in Garter Stitch on larger needle **Needles** Size A (for main fabric) One pair of straight needles in size necessary to obtain pattern gauge listed Suggested Size: 6½ mm (US 10½) Size B (for Crown) One set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* one size smaller than Size A Suggested Size: 6 mm (US 10) *32" circular needle can be used instead of 16" circular and DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round. **Finished Dimensions** 20½" (52 cm) circumference unstretched (to comfortably fit head sizes 20–24" (51-61cm)) 8½” (21.5cm) at deepest point *Measurements taken from relaxed fabric after blocking.* **Tutorials for all special techniques listed below are included in the pattern:** Provisional Cast On: Crochet Chain Method **Skill Level** 3 out of 5 [1]: https://brooklyntweed.com/ [2]: https://brooklyntweed.com/pages/add-your-pattern-to-ravelry [3]: https://brooklyntweed.com/pages/newsletter-sign-up
