Since my mitten pattern of the same name has enjoyed some popularity, and since I’ve always had a soft spot for the look of these little houses lined up in rows, I decided to create a hat pattern in the same spirit to celebrate the arrival of the beautiful De Rerum Natura collection in Biscotte’s stores!

.
MATERIALS NEEDED
▪ De Rerum Natura ULYSSE 100% merino wool; 185 meters / 50 g 1 skein each of: Genet (A) and Delphinium (B)
▪ Circular needles or double-pointed needles of 3.5 mm; US #4 (or the size needed to achieve the gauge) and 3 mm; US #3 (or .5 mm smaller than the size needed to achieve the gauge).
▪ Tapestry needle and stitch markers (optional)

GAUGE
26 stitches and 32 rows = 10 cm; 4 in. worked in stranded colorwork in the round with the larger needles.

SIZE
Adult Size S (M, L) – Unstretched headband circumference = 49.5, 52, 53.5 cm; 19.5 (20.5, 21) in.

NOTES: You can work this pattern with DPNs or circular needles. Depending on the technique you use with circular needles, you may need to switch to double-pointed needles for the decrease rounds. If you’re using DPNs, I suggest dividing your rows into 3 sets of 42 (44, 46) sts.

The pattern repeats 3 times per round. I suggest adding a stitch marker between each pattern repeat and using a different one to mark the beginning of each round.
