The intricate-looking pattern is deceptively simple to knit. Only one color is worked per round, so there's no need to carry two strands of yarn at once. Explore classic and exciting color pairings, add a contrast edge—or for a fun variation, introduce a new color for each set of boats! The slightly slouchy hat can also easily be customized to have more slouch, or to be a fitted beanie. <hr/><hr/> **Sizes** x-small, small, medium, large, x-large **Finished measurements** 17½ (19, 20¼, 21¾, 23¼)" \[44.5 (48, 51.5, 55.5, 59) cm\] circumference at band, approximately 9½" \[24 cm\] tall. **Yarn** The Birlinn Yarn Company 4 ply, a blend of Hebridean and Cheviot wools; 164 yd [150 m] per 50g skein.

If using a true fingering weight yarn, go up a pattern size, and down in gauge to get your desired fabric and hat size. Fingering weight yarn will require approximately 10% more yardage than the above estimate.* **Gauge** 22 sts x 32 rnds = 4" \[10 cm\] in stockinette, after blocking. **Needles** Slip-stitch patterns: Suggested size: US 7 \[4.5 mm\] Stockinette: Suggested size: US 6 \[4 mm\] Ribbing: Suggested size: US 4 \[3.5 mm\] <hr/><hr/> Need help?
