Brimming with Color

self-published in July 2010: $5 PDF

also in a printed booklet through MagCloud for $5 (full preview available)

A simple hat optionally made less simple by dyeing the yarn first! The hat is designed with style flexibility in mind - wear it brim-down for an oversized, slouchy style, or brim-up for a completely different, more classic look. This hat is all about personalization - make it how you want it, and keep your head warm in your own style! Includes pom pom tutorial for optional topper!

The stats:

Sizes: bigger/slouchier, or snugger fit by adjusting gauge

Yarn: around 140 yards of bulky weight

Needles: size US 11 16" circular, or size to get gauge, plus set of matching double points

Gauge: 3 stitches per inch, or 3.5 sts/inch for tighter fit

Skills needed: knitting in the round, decreasing... optional yarn dyeing if you want!

The pdf is 6 pages (the pattern is on one photo-less page for printing).
