On the other hand, Schachenmayr Universa is too thin to be worked together with the Bravo, so on the second hat I used it doubled stranded.

Cast on 80 st and increased unto 100 st. Doing 5 repeats of chart n. 1. For chart n. 4 I did 3 repeats and added extra stitches to fit in the pattern.

I had to start decreasing in the middle of the starship troopers (otherwise it would have been way too long). I also didn’t do rows 1-3 of chart 1.

I’m already on the second hat, and it’s going like a breeze!

Second hat done! It really looks better with the Universa held double.

Now unto hat n. 3. It’s going to be for a 8 year old, so I’ll have to make it smaller: casting on 70 st, increasing unto 90 st, adding extra stitchtes to chart n. 1 to fit 4 repeats and doing 3 repeats of chart n. 4. Also not doing rows 1-3 of chart n. 1 and not doing chart n. 3.
