Colours of Norway Hat

**New** Now also in Danish, with many thanks to Marianne Holmen, who did the translation. **Description** A hat inspired by the colours of Norwegian nature, with both floral and Celtic(-ish) patterns. This hat is an ideal project for finishing up leftovers, so use your imagination and choose your own colours! The chart is also well suited for knitting with just two shades. The hat is knit in the round and uses only two coulours in the same row. **Size** The hat comes in one size. Should you like to knit a different size, please use smaller or larger needles. Brim & body of showed sample (blocked but still stretchy): 53 cm. Height: 22.5 cm. If you’d like to have more control over the height of the hat, start with a provisional cast on and knit the brim when the rest of the hat is finished. Shorten or lengthen the brim as you please. Sample was knitted on a 3mm needle and is shown on a head with 58 cm in circumference. **Material** Yarn: Hifa Ask (100% Norwegian wool); 315 meters / 344 yards per 100 gram Colourways: 6054 melert lys grå (MC), 6513 melert bonderød (CC1), 6570 melert oransje (CC2), 6502 melert maisgul (CC3), 6588 melert eplegrønn (CC4), 6590 melert olivengrønn (CC5), 6537 melert lys bondeblå (CC6), 6587 melert mintgrønn (CC7) Recommended needles: 40cm/16in circular 2.5mm needle for brim 40cm/16in circular 3mm needle for body 3mm double-pointed needles (DPNs), or longer circular needle (magic loop) for finishing crown Notions: 1 stitch marker Tapestry needle for weaving in ends Happy knitting!
