Ricurvare

Ricurvare is worked sideways, using short rows for shaping and creation of the pattern. Offset lines and leaves alternate around the Hat in a distinct and intriguing pattern. Worked in DK weight yarn the Hat can easily be adjusted for a range of sizes by changing needle size, gauge or yarn. Featuring short-row colourwork, each of the Folineal Hats is knit sideways and grafted. This pattern is available individually, or as part of the Folineal collection **Hat Description** Ricurvare is a sideways knit gently slouchy Hat. It uses short-row colourwork to create a motif of organic forms and lines within one panel, which is then repeated all around the Hat. It's worked in garter stitch throughout and has a smooth crown. **Yarn** Yarn A: 195yd/178m; Yarn B: 62yd/57m DK weight, single or plied yarn; tonal or high contrast solid, semi-solid or variegated yarns. **Needles & Notions** Pair 3.25mm (3.5mm) straight needles or size needed to obtain gauge 3.25mm crochet hook Approx. 3yd/3m waste yarn Tapestry needle **Sample Details** Shown in La Bien Aimée Merino DK in shade ‘Cassiopeia’ (252yd/230m per 4oz/115g; 100% Superwash Merino) & RipplesCrafts Merino Sport in shade ‘Red Sphagnum’ (286yd/262m per 100g; 100% Superwash Merino) Shown in size 22in/56cm on model with 23in/58.5cm circumference head **Size & Gauge** To fit size: 22in/56cm; use 3.25mm needles Gauge: 24 sts x 48 rows to 4in/10cm over Garter St. Finished sizes: Circumference: 16in/40.75cm Length: 9.25in/23.75cm To fit size: 24in/61cm; use 3.5mm needles Gauge: 22 sts x 44 rows to 4in/10cm over Garter St. Finished sizes: Circumference: 17.5in/44.5cm Length: 10.25in/26cm **Pattern Notes** Sizing in this pattern is achieved through gauge.
