Pattern - Hat - Autumn in the ADK Hue in Fingering - 2602

Hue*  is Danish for Hat/Kep/Cap

This Pattern is my 6th Hue* which is created in the spirit of the Shetland Kep Style

This pattern is a suggestion you may want to create your own version.

Pattern is written for any Fingering weight yarns 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.

Marker.

I used 7 different colors of my hand dyed Kid Mohair Sock yarn..

Head Size: 22-23 1/2” circumference (around head), and 16 1/2” from bottom of ear over crown of head to bottom of other ear.

For a taller version increase rounds & for a 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 wash on US size 1.5 (2.5 mm) needles:  8.5 sts/1” & 10 rounds/1”.

Gauge in pattern AFTER wash on US size 1.5 (2.5 mm) needles:  8.5 sts/1” & 9 rounds/1”.

Autumn in the ADK Hue*. 

The Shetland Keps provided the inspiration for this “HUE”, love playing with colors.

This is a win win combination, colors, using up my leftovers in my hand dyed fingering yarns.

Designs with multiple colors create a light weight, and warm hat.

Figured there was room for a few Scandinavian and ADIRONDACK versions.

These hats can tell a story or bring out favorite colors or favorite scenery.

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

Remember patterns are only suggestions and not carved in rock.

Colors are only suggestions. You could work this hat using only 2 colors instead of 7.

Happy Knitting!
