HAT – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked in the round, bottom up, starting with circular needle and changing to double pointed needles as you decrease for the top.
HAT:
Cast on 132-144 stitches with circular needle size 3 mm and DROPS Merino Extra Fine or DROPS Karisma. Work rib in the round (purl 1, knit 1) for 8 cm. Remember to maintain the knitting tension.
Turn the piece inside out and work in the opposite direction – this is done so that the edge will be neat when it is later folded up.
Continue with knit over knit and purl over purl until the piece measures 18-19 cm.
Insert 6 markers in knitted stitches as follows: Count 21-23 stitches, insert 1 marker in the 22nd-24th stitch (= 1 knitted stitch), insert the other markers with 21-23 stitches between each knitted marker-stitch.
On the next round work as follows: Continue the rib until there are 2 stitches left before the first marker-stitch, purl 2 together, * work until there are 2 stitches left before the next marker-stitch, purl 2 together*, work from *-* to end of round = 126-138 stitches. Continue with knit over knit and purl over purl, decreasing in the same way every 2nd round a total of 13-15 times, then decrease every round 7-7 times = 12-12 stitches.
Cut the strand, pull it through the remaining stitches, tighten and fasten well. The hat measures approx. 28-30 cm from the cast-on edge. Fold up the bottom 5 cm. The hat measures approx. 23-25 cm with fold-up.
