Chubby Butterflies

This hat is a really fun and quick project that allows you to experiment with marled or handspun + solid color yarns, while also playing with a really fun stitch. It is worked from the brim to the top, with decreases shaping the crown of the hat. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3). To fit snugly a head circumference of approx. 21-22 (23-24, 25-26)" [52.5-55 (57.5-60, 62.5-65) cm]. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Circumference: 15¼" ((16¾, 18½)" [38 (42, 46) cm]. Length: 8 ¾" [22 cm]. **MATERIALS** Multicolor Yarn (MC): 1 (1, 2) skeins or 90 (100, 120) yards [ 82 (92, 109) m] of Plump by Spincycle Yarns (100% wool; 100 yds [92 m] / approx. 100g). The sample was made using color Ghost Ranch. Solid Color Yarn (CC): 0.3 skein (or 33 yards/30m) of Cardo by Manos del Uruguay (100% wool; 109 yds [100 m] / 100g). The sample was made using color Peach Blossom. **Tips for substituting** The main yarn can be substituted with 2 strands of light DK, or sport weight... or 3 strands of fingering weight. Marling different colors will have a similar effect to the yarn that I used. Needles: US 8 (5 mm) circular needles, 24" [60 cm] long. Other notions: Stitch marker, tapestry needle. **GAUGE** 16 sts and 24 rows to 4" [10 cm] in (K2, P1) ribbing, on US 8 [5 mm] needles after blocking. Before measuring, make sure your swatch goes through the same blocking and pinning process as your beanie will.
