Old Port Hat

*Every morning I walk or run in the great northeastern outdoors and as winter has settled down around us I have found I needed a much warmer hat to keep the chill from the ocean at bay! The brim of this hat has a soft and cozy Cashgora liner over the ears and is then knit up in a compact two color brioche to keep even the strongest winter winds at bay!* **SIZES** 1 (2, 3) **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Circumference - 17 (19, 21)”/43 (48, 53) cm Height - 7.5 (8.75, 9.25)”/19 (22, 23.5) cm To Fit: 17-19 (20-22, 23-24)”/43-48 (51-56, 58-61) cm *Sample shown in Size 2.* **YARN REQUIREMENTS** Yarn A - Sport Weight Cashgora 60 g/182 yds/166 m Yarn B - DK Weight Wool 50 g/125 yds/115 m **SUGGESTED YARN** Yarn A - Cashgora Handspun by Gavharoy (100 g/302 yds/276 m) - 1 skein Brick (dark coral) Yarn B - Harrisville Designs Nightshades American Cormo (100 g/250 yds/228 m) 1 skein Cinder (black with red tweed flecks) **SUGGESTED NEEDLES** Size US 3/3.25 mm - 16”/40 cm circular Size US 4/3.5 mm - 16”/40 cm circular Size US 4/3.5 mm - DPNs (or a longer circular for magic loop) *(Use the needle size you need to achieve gauge, go down one size for brim.)* **NOTIONS** Locking stitch markers (4) Tapestry Needle **GAUGE** 18.5 sts & 26 rnds = 4”/10 cm *Measured over 2 color brioche stitch in the round using smaller needle.* 24 sts & 38 rnds = 4”/10 cm *Measured over stockinette stitch in the round using sport weight yarn and smaller needles.* **TECHNIQUES TO INDULGE IN** Working in the round Knitting Decreasing Two color brioche Brioche increases Brioche decreases Seaming [1]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/satellite-3
