Pattern - Hat - Sheep, Sheep, Sheep Hat in Fingering - 2411

This Pattern is written for any of our Silky BFL - Fingering weight yarns, but any Fingering weight yarns would work as long as you get gauge.

US Size 1.5 (2.5 mm)  Circular Needles - 16" length, and  24" length, plus Double Pointed Needles 6" length for the decreases or flyers.

NOTE: You MUST use 24" circular knitting needle for the color work or your hat will end up being too tight.

Marker.

I used 3 different colors, but you can use any number. You are the boss.

I used approx. 100-125 yards of Wine, 50-75 yards for each of the Natural & Forest colors.

Head Size: 21-23” circumference (around head), and 16” from bottom of ear over crown of head to bottom of other ear.

For a taller version increase the number of rounds. Shorter version decrease rounds.

For a smaller version (around head) use smaller needles. Larger version use larger needles.

This hue “hugs” your head comfortably.

Gauge in pattern BEFORE and AFTER wash on US size 1.5 (2.5 mm) needles in STOCKINETTE:  9 sts/1” & 10 rounds/1”.

Very little change in size after wash.

Do not hesitate to play with your leftover colors to create your own version.

Remember patterns are only suggestions and not carved in rock.

Happy Knitting!
