Materials: Brava bulky yarn in cornflower for the hat and Brava worsted yarn in tidepool for the bow
Size 10 circular needles and dpns for hat
Size 8 dpns for bow
Hat
C.O. 72 sts join in the round
Rib knit for the first 3 inches: Knit 2, Purl 2 each row.
After the ribbing is done just knit until the entire piece measures 7 inches then you will start to decrease.
Decreasing rows:
Row1: Knit 4, Knit 2 together, repeat to end of row
Row2: Knit
Row3: k3, k2tog, repeat
Row4: Knit (switching to your dpns)
Row5: k2, k2tog, repeat
Row6: knit
Row7: k1, k2 tog, repeat
Row8: knit
Row9: k2 together, repeat
You should now have 12 sts left. Cut your yarn leaving a long enough tail to weave the sts onto your yarn and pull the hole shut, secure the yarn and tie off.
Bow
Create a bow with a simple 4 stitch i-cord and embellish with a button. Sew the bow onto the hat giving it a nice shape as you go along.
Happy Knitting!

ReplyDeleteThanks! And yes, this pattern is very simple, great for a beginner. :)
ReplyDeleteCould this be used with 8ply yarn? Sorry i just realised you've used bulky sized yarn...

Becky, I don't think the ply should matter really, just the weight :)
