Ellis Hat

Irish Immigrant Thomas Ellis arrived in the Okanagan in the late 1860s and was the first European settler in the area known today as Penticton. Ellis established himself as a cattle rancher and by the 1890s, his empire spanned from South Okanagan all the way to the Canada-US Border. Today, Ellis Street, named after the cattle baron, runs through the Kelowna Cultural District and ends at the base of Knox Mountain. This hat is knit bottom up and includes sizing for the whole family and a slouchy or beanie version. **YARN/YARDAGE** Shown in madelinetosh Tosh DK (225y/100g), using 70g Cactus Flower (adult M) and Diamond Tradition (219y/100g), using 50g Turquoise (toddler) and 60g Irish (child/adult s). **TOOLS** 3.5mm (US 4) and 4mm (US 6) needles for preferred method of working in the round, or size needed to get gauge, stitch markers, darning needle **GAUGE** 20 st / 4” in stockinette, with larger needles, after blocking (A different gauge will affect finished measurements and yardage requirements.) **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** baby (toddler, child/adult S, adult M, adult L) To fit head circumference: 16 (18, 20, 22, 24)” 14½ (16, 17½, 19, 20½)” around by Beanie version: 6 (6½, 7, 8, 9) tall Slouchy version: 7½ (8, 8½, 9½, 10½)” tall
