Colorwork motifs become distorted when overstretched width-wise. Be sure to choose the size that corresponds as closely as possible to your actual head circumference. Remember, blocking can make hand-knits larger but not smaller, and hats tend to stretch with wear. Model is wearing size L/XL, with 54.5 cm / 21.5” actual head circumference.

PATTERN INFORMATION

The Wintergarden Hat is a rare unicorn indeed! Not only does it break the two-colors-per-round “rule” of stranded colorwork by using three colors, it also forgoes filler motifs. Omitting these fillers creates a bold motif on the outside of the hat, while extra floats on the inside of the hat create a layer of cosy-warm insulation

This pattern is intended for knitters who are experienced at stranded colorwork, float trapping and reading charts. Knitting with three colors requires strategic float trapping; directions for exactly how/where to trap floats are embedded within the chart, hooray!

For the Blue/Grey/pink version: MC: 1 (1) skein of Divina color 24, C1: 1 (1) skein of Divina color 03, C2: 1 (1) skein of Divina color 12.
