Ovis Hat

The Ovis Hat was designed as a companion to the Ovis Sweater, which you can find [here][1]. Both patterns were designed to celebrate the [Sacred Sheep][2] gathering in Portland in November! The hat shown was made using [Ritual Dyes][3] Marona (dk weight) for the MC with Maven (fingering weight wool) and Fae (laceweight mohair) held together for the CC. You can use 2 colors of DK or a combination of yarns held together as long as you are able to achieve the correct gauge. **MATERIALS Needles:** Note - needle sizes are suggested only. You may need to use a different size to achieve gauge. Ribbing: US 5 /3.75 mm Main: US 7 /4.5 mm **Notions:** Stitch marker(s), scrap yarn or stitch holders, tapestry needle, row counter (optional) **GAUGE** 20 sts and 28 rounds/rows = 4”/10 cm x 4”/10 cm in stranded colorwork on main needle after blocking. Note - You should always knit your swatch the same way that the pattern is knit—in this case, both flat and in the round. Block your swatch as you will your finished hat and allow it to dry fully before measuring. **Yarn:** MC: Ritual Dyes Marona 100% Cormo Wool 250 yds yards / 228 meters per 100g CC: 2 yarns were held together for the CC for the sample pictured, one strand of fingering weight wool and one strand of laceweight mohair.
