I have been meaning to make a hat for the spouse for years now.
The weather for the days surrounding Christmas was rough, so all of our plans went awry. I started this on the morning of Christmas eve and finished it up on Christmas night. It’s knit with 2 types of yarn held together. The off-white is a merino wool. The dark brown is a blend of 75% bison and 25% wool.
men’s 2×2 rib hat
cast on 84 stitches on circular needle (I used size 9). Place marker at beginning to keep track of beg/end of round.
*k2, p2* in rib pattern for 11 inches
*k2tog, p2* repeat for one round
*k1, p2* repeat for round
switch to double-pointed needles
*k1, p2tog* repeat for round
*k1, p1* repeat for round
k2tog for round
k for round
break yarn and draw through remaining stitches on needle, weaving end into stitches on wrong side of hat.
weave in tail from beginning stitches as well.
