HAT:
Worked in the round on circular needle. Switch to double pointed needles when needed. Due to the pattern on the hat, it is available in sizes XS/S and L/XL. Should you wish to make a size S/M (fits head size 57/59 cm) you can follow instructions for XS/S but increase ½ needle size.

Switch to circular needle size 4 mm. Now work pattern as follows: Work * A.1 (= 28 sts), A.2 - see diagram for correct size (= 10-14 sts) *, repeat from *-* 2 more times on round. When entire A.1a and A.2a have been worked vertically, repeat A.1a and A.2a 4-5 more times vertically. Piece measures approx. 24-27 cm. Then work A.1b over A.1a and A.2b over A.2a. When entire diagram has been worked vertically there are 24-27 sts on round. Work 2 more round while K tog all sts 2 by 2 = 6-7 sts. Cut the yarn and pull it through the remaining sts, tighten tog and fasten. Hat measures 32-35 cm in total (incl rib). Fold rib towards the RS so that folding edge measures approx. 6 cm.
