The Manning Park Hat

***The pattern is available in English and German / die Anleitung ist in Deutsch und Englisch erhältlich.*** **About this pattern:** The Manning Park hat is a bit retro and a bit modern, just like its namesake, a provincial park and ski hill just east of Vancouver. Like an old school ski toque, the turned hem gives your ears a bit more protection from the cold, but the slight slouch updates the look. Designed to match the [Manning Park Cowl][1], the [Manning Park Socks][2], and the [Manning Park Mittens][3]. Wear them together, or wear them separately! **Dimensions:** Circumference of hat 19" (20"; 21") to fit head circumference 22" (23"; 24"). Height = 9.5". **Yarn:** Malabrigo Rios: worsted weight, 100% superwash merino wool; (100g); 210 yards (192 metres). **Yardage:** Approx 50 g of MC (plomo) and 50 g of CC (natural). Pom-pom requires additional yarn. **Skill Level:** This pattern is suitable for an advanced beginner or intermediate knitter who is familiar with stranded colourwork, provisional cast-on; turned picot hem; and basic increases and decreases. Follow these links to video tutorials on: [provisional cast-on][4];[joining a provisional CO with live stitches for a turned picot hem][5]; or, if you prefer, a [bottom-up picot edge / knitted hem from a CO edge][6]; and [right lifted increase][7]. **Pattern Notes:** This hat is knit from the bottom-up, in-the-round. Stranded colourwork pattern is charted. Size can be increased / decreased by adding / eliminated four stitches. More slouch can be added to crown by adding more rounds in CC. A snugger fit for the band can be achieved by using smaller needles (3.5 mm for the CC and 3.75 mm for the MC). **Errata** In the first version of this pattern, in the instructions for the turned picot hem, the instructions should read, "SM; (YO; K2TOG)* repeat to end of round." Also, abbreviation RLI = right lifted increase, and where instructed to knit with magic loops, the knitter should simply knit the hat-in-the-round. The most recent version of the pattern has been updated to reflect these corrections.
