Studio Hat

The *Studio Hat* is knitted starting at the top in 2×2 rib stitch, increasing stitches until you reach the desired circumference. The brim is worked in a different colour. A small section of 1×1 rib stitch is added in a third colour at the end, before finishing with an elastic bind-off for a clean, stretchy edge. All three sizes use the same stitch count; the finished circumference depends on your gauge. **MEASUREMENTS** **Sizes:** 1 (2, 3) **Finished circumference:** 18¾ (20, 22½)” / 46.5 (51, 56) cm The sizes roughly correspond to Child (Adult Small, Adult Large). The *Studio Hat* is designed to be worn with an intended negative ease of 0 to 4” / 0 to 10 cm, meaning you should choose a size 0 to 4” / 0 to 10 cm smaller than your head circumference. **YARN** **Weight:** DK ❖ **Colour A (Main section)** 111 (123, 135) yd 102 (113, 124) m 1 skein of Jensen from Isager ❖ **Colour B (Brim)** 59 (66, 73) yd 64 (60, 66) m 1 skein of Jensen from Isager ❖ **Colour C (Bind-off detail)** 7 (8, 9) yd 6 (7, 8) m 1 skein of Jensen from Isager Sample shown in Jensen from Isager (100% Wool, non-superwash; 137 yd / 125 m per 50 g skein), in the “81” (Colour A), “47” (Colour B) and “6S’” (Colour C) colourways. **NEEDLES** ❖ Circular needles, 16” / 40 cm in length, US 2 (2.5, 3) / 2.75 (3, 3.25) mm, or size needed to match gauge for desired size.
