Diamond Halo Hat

This stranded hat is knit in the round with corrugated ribbing for the brim followed by a bold diamond colorwork motif. This hat is a perfect gift knit for your friends and family. Choose between three sizes and stay warm during the chilly autumn and winter days. Select two colors of DK weight wool like West Wool Tandem and pair them together with matching strands of Glowhair. I held a matching strand of lace weight mohair silk together with each color of wool to make the fabric extra soft with a subtle fluffy glow! **Sizes** 1 (2, 3) **Finished Measurements** 19 [20, 22]″ / 48 [51, 56]cm head circumference. Measurements taken after blocking. The length is customizable. I recommend selecting a size that is 2 – 3″ / 5 – 8cm smaller than your actual head circumference.  Size 2 is shown on a 22.5″ / 57cm head circumference. **Yarn** DK weight held together with lace weight mohair. You can knit this hat without the extra strand of mohair for a simple DK weight wool version. **Yardage** Color A - 110 [120, 130]yds / 101 [110, 119]m Color B - 100 [110, 120]yds / 91 [110, 119]m Color A = 1 strand DK weight wool held together with 1 strand lace weight mohair silk Color B = 1 strand DK weight wool held together with 1 strand lace weight mohair silk For example, for Size 1 you will need 110yds / 101m of DK weight wool AND 110yds / 101m of lace weight mohair silk for color A. You will also need the recommended yardage of color B for each of the DK weight and lace weight strands of yarn. **Shown In** *Black & White Hat* Color A - West Wool Tandem & Glowhair in Copenhagen Color B - West Wool Tandem & Glowhair in Birch Tree *Green Hat* Color A - West Wool Tandem & Glowhair in Grass Green Color B - West Wool Tandem & Glowhair in Sherbert *Red Hat* Color A - West Wool Tandem & Glowhair in Fandango Color B - West Wool Tandem & Glowhair in Beatrix **Needles** US 6 / 4mm circular in 40″ / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge.
