A comfortable winter hat, sized child to adult, in eye-catching V stitch and cosy, soft yarn is the new addition to the popular Vivid Collection.

The ribbed Ribbing keeps the chill winds out while the flexibility of the V stitch plus straight and tapered fit options ensure a comfortable fit and style that suits each wearer.

Sizes: 31a (31b, 41a, 41b, 51a, 51b, 61a, 61b) designed with two fit options for each measurement: a - tapered sides, or b - roomier, straight sided crown.

Ease: your choice! I suggest the size closest to the wearer’s head measurement for a close but not tight fit.

Tension: 6 reps and 11 rs htr V-stitch to 10cm/4”.

Working method: The hat is worked in concentric rounds from top down, switching colour for each round and finished with slip stitch/surface crochet.
