Take Wing

> If you add 4 of my designs to your > cart, the least expensive one will be > free ~ enjoy! Take Wing features a decorative brim encircled with pairs of wings. Peek inside, and you’ll find a cozy ribbed brim lining. This double-brim construction provides extra warmth while ensuring that the brim edge is soft and stretchy. The rest of the hat is worked in stockinette stitch, making it easy to customize its height. Take Wing is worked from the bottom up in worsted-weight yarn. If you are new to twisted stitches or cables, this hat is a great chance to spread your wings — only the knit stitches are worked through the back loop, all of the cables can be worked without a cable needle, and links to video tutorials are included for any special techniques. You’ll love the beautiful textures these techniques create. **Instructions are fully written with one optional chart.** **Sizes** 1 (2, 3) To fit: Youth (Adult Small, Adult Large) **Finished Measurements** Height (measured flat): 7.5 (8.25, 9)”/18.75 (20.75, 22.5) cm Brim circumference: 15 (18, 21)”/37.5 (45, 52.5) cm The brim circumference should measure approximately 3”/7.5 cm smaller than the wearer’s head circumference. **Gauge** 19 Stitches and 30 rounds = 4”/10 cm square in stockinette stitch on US 7/4.5 mm needle, blocked. **Yarn** Approximately 160 (200, 250) yd/146 (183, 229) m worsted-weight yarn.
