This hat matches the Christmas Candy Mitts. There are no instructions in the pattern, charts only. The pattern is repeated five times, working in the round. The pattern has two charts, one for peppermint and one for spearmint. Just choose your colour, cast on, knit a K1, P1, ribbing for about 2-ins and follow the chart.
One 50g ball of each colour will yield a hat and a pair of mitts.
The original hat was knit to a gauge of 23sts-4ins and the hat fits a youth. To make an adult hat knit to a gauge of 20sts-4ins. For a child’s hat knit to a gauge of 26sts-4ins.
For a man sized hat use worsted weight yarn.
