Fancy Panties Hat
Inspiration can be found almost anywhere — this pattern was inspired by the print on an old pair of panties! Thus, it became the “Fancy Panties Hat.”
A colorful expression of stranded knitting, it’s sure to be a bright spot on a cold winter’s day. The doubled-up brim and extra layers of yarn inside make this hat a toasty warm accessory. Experience with colorwork is recommended.
Yardage:
160–180 yds main color
20–30 yds contrasting colors A, B, C
Pattern Tip:
- Fair Isle/Intarsia tends to knit up tightly. Common techniques are to knit loosely, go up a needle size for the colorwork portion or keep the knitting turned inside-out as you work to give the traveling yarn a little extra room to stretch.
Techniques used: DPNs, M1, K2tog, stranded knitting
