Hello! This might be a question not related to the pattern, but I would be curious to know how to determine the number of stitches needed for a hat. I'm not an experimented knitter, so please correct me. In this pattern, I assume the number of stitches/cm is determined by the knitted tension, meaning 2 stitches per 1 cm. Now I multiply this number by the head circumference, let's say 54cm, but I get a different number than the one mentioned. Should one count for the negative ease of the yarn?

Dear Corina, in general, you can use the following lesson to see how to calculate a pattern: https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=25&cid=19. However, you need to take into account the stitch patterns used in the pattern. For example, the rib contracts the piece horizontally, so you will need more stitches for the same number of cm in width than in stocking stitch. Garter stitch ridges tend to contract the piece vertically, so you will need more rows for the same number of cm in length than in stocking stitch. So you would need to work a gauge with each of the stitch patterns. You should also account for the positive or negative (for the hat) ease and shape. Happy knitting!

Se puede adaptar el patrón para una talla mas grande, com una circunferencia de 59/60? Gracias!

Hola María, puedes hacer una regla de tres para calcular el número de puntos a partir de las medidas deseadas y la tensión. Por ejemplo, necesitarás montar aprox. 148 puntos. Puedes usar la siguiente lección: https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=25&cid=23

I see the rolled stockinette in the picture, but it shows ribbing ABOVE the roll. I figured there was also ribbing inside the roll. but no ribbing is in the pattern after the 7cm of stockinette. So, which comes first, ribbing or stockinette? And is there ribbing above the roll?
15.04.2023 kl. 20:44:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Gayla, it's not the natural rolling of a border. Instead, all of the ribbing plus a bit of stocking stitch have been folded upwards (and those cm in stocking stitch make it look as if it was rolling up naturally). You work as indicated in the pattern, first ribbing, then stocking stitch. Happy knitting!

Forget my question . I understand the picture now.

Dear Syl, that is good to know. The ribbed part of the hat is uptured. Happy Knitting!

When I look at the picture itlooks you start with flat knit rows the first 2 cm end then rib untill 7 cm . Then flat knit again. I think the patern is wrong.
12.03.2023 kl. 11:41:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Syl, you start with 2 cm of ribbing and 7 cm of stocking stitch, both knitted on the round. The ribbing will be upturned at the end. I hope this helps. Happy Knitting!

What I can’t figure out is with 132 stitches after how many stitches do you do you decrease to evenly get to 98 stiches remaing? Every 2? 3? Or
02.12.2022 kl. 14:28:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Hoffman, divide 132 (total number of stitches on needle) by 34 (number of sts to decrease) = 3.88 - This mean you will alternately work together every 3rd and 4th and every 4th and 5th st, making sure you will work K2 tog a total of 34 times on the round - see ex. 2 in this lesson. Happy knitting!
06.12.2022 kl. 08:02:Judy Rein wrote:
First decrease is 34 decreases on 132 stitches. Yet your tip says measure by 98 stitches. Do you mean decrease every 2-3 inches based on the number if stitches you want AFTER the decreases?
02.12.2022 kl. 01:12:DROPS Design answered:
Hi Judy, You start with 132 stitches and decrease 34 stitches evenly around the hat. 132 - 34 = 98 stitches remaining. Happy knitting!

I am working on the dublin town hat, 225-29. I am struggling with a part of the directions when you begin decreasing with a slip stitch. I understand 1 decease after each marker snd every other round but it says for a total of 10-11 times. Does that mean I have 10 to 11 rounds decreasing using the every other round which would make it 20-22 rounds. Then the next round 2-2 times is vague also. Please help.
29.11.2022 kl. 01:39:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Sparks, you will decrease like this: *work 1 round decreasing 7 sts, work 1 round without decrease*, and work these 2 rounds a total of 10 times (first size) or 11 times (larger size); then decrease on next 2 rounds (2 times on every round). Happy knitting!

I am currently work on the Dublin Town hat. It is worked from bottom up. The edge is not consistent with the picture of a rolled knitted edge which really makes the hat. I have invested in the Alaska Drops yarn to be sure I could have a good results. I fear this pattern is missing some directions for a knitted edge to create the roll.
26.11.2022 kl. 03:20:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Cathleen, the rib stitch will not roll initially, but it should start rolling once you start working the stocking stitch in the upper part of the hat. If it still doesn't roll, then the rib stitch isn't too tight and you need to start again with a tighter gauge. Happy knitting!

Hi Good Morning, I have just purchased Drops Alaska and it says to use needle size 5mm but the Dublin Hat pattern says 3.25 mm. That's a big difference in needle size. Can you explain please. Thank you. Kind regards Noeleen
27.02.2022 kl. 09:52:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Noeleen, the most important thing is not the needle size, but rather the gauge. The texture of this hat is quite tight, to keep its shape. So it needs to be worked more tightly, with a higher than usual gauge. That is why it's different from the one stated in general for the yarn. In any case, when in doubt, you should follow the gauge indicated in the pattern always. The size indicated is 3.5 mm, but you may need a bigger or smaller needle, depending on your own gauge. Happy knitting!

Good morning, I love the look of this hat. On the picture it shows knit rows then rib, but on the pattern it doesn’t mention any knit rows at the beginning. Can you please advise, thank you
20.01.2022 kl. 09:35:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Dainty, you start the hat with a ribbing edge, but at the end, you will fold up the rib to the right size, ie on the picture ribbing edge is folded over. Happy knitting!

1. Opis zaczyna się od narzucenia 132 oczek (dla obwodu 54cm) i przerobienia ściągaczem 2p, 2l. Jeśli 20 o.=10 cm, to 132 o. = 66cm ! 2. Na zdjęciu widać wywinięty brzeg przerabiany dżersejem, czego nie ma w opisie. Proszę o korektę opisu.
21.11.2021 kl. 23:05:DROPS Design answered:
Witaj Mileno, 1. próbka jest wykonywana dżersejem, a nie ściągaczem. Ściągacz naturalnie zwęży robótkę. Zwróć uwagę, że po wykonaniu ściągacza równomiernie zamykasz oczka i dla twojego rozmiaru zostanie ich 98, a obwód wyniesie ok. 50 cm. 2. na zdjęciu został wywinięty ściągacz z częścią dżersejem, oczywiście to zależy od Ciebie jak chcesz nosić czapkę :) Pozdrawiamy!

Hej! Är 40 cm rundsticka verkligen rätt? Jag får inte 140 maskor på en så kort rundsticka. Om mössan dessutom ska ha omkrets 56 -58 cm så känns 40 cm rundsticka kort.

Hej. Ja det ska vara rundsticka 40 till detta mönster. Maskorna kommer vara tätt tillsammans på stickan för att få plats med alla. Du kan även använda strumpstickor från början som du tycker det är lättare. Mvh DROPS design
