Dancing Dots Hat

This pattern is available individually or as part of the [Ravellenics 2026](/patterns/sources/ravellenics-2026) collection. ----------------------------------------------- The hat is worked in stranded knitted, but 1/4 of the rows are worked in just one colour - one of the testers said the resting rounds felt like "a hug from the designer". You can work a ribbed cuff or a turn-under stockinette cuff. Use DK or worsted weight yarn - allow approx. 150m/165yds of main colour and 50m/65yds of contrast colour. Using a variegated, handspun or striping yarn for the contract colour helps to create a "dancing" effect. The pattern has 2 charts: 1 for light main colour, the other for dark main colour to make chart reading easier. [Heather2009](/people/Heather2009) swapped the k2tog and ssk and got a beautiful effect on the crown - [see it here][1] [1]: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Heather2009/dancing-dots-hat
