Pattern Name Classic Ribbed Hat
Designer Purl Soho
Size Made Adult Size Large (fingering weight modification)
Yarn Bad Sheep Yarn, Leftovers (Colorways: Currant & Spell On You)

NOTES

I wanted to make a fingering weight hat with left over sock yarn. I also wanted to include the brim from the Oslo Hat.

Modifications

  • I used fingering weight yarn and a 2.5mm needle.

  • I cast on for the adult large size, (cast on 132 stitches).

  • Fold over brim - knit 7.5”

  • Knit 6” past the fold before starting decreases

  • I followed the decreases as listed in the Classic Ribbed Hat pattern for the largest size.

Final Thoughts

I like this hat, and I am a fan of being able to use up my fingering weight sock yarns. The 1x1 ribbing is warmer than I initially thought it would be. The combination of the Oslo Hat and the Classic Ribbed Hat pattern is a good fit.
