Notes
This hat features the same grid pattern that is on the matching cardigan. However, because the hat is knit in the round, there is no need to change the position of the needle after working a CC round.
Longer circular needles and the Magic Loop method were used in this project. If preferred, the hat can be worked on smaller 16” / 40 cm circular needles, changing to DPNs when needed for the crown.
Intarsia is the method used to work the vertical stripes. When working the first round, join a separate length of CC yarn when working a K1CC. Each length is cut to approximately 40” / 101 cm. Length doesn’t have to be exact. Shorter ones may require you to rejoin a new length more often, longer ones may get tangled more easily. These lengths will be absorbed into the pattern as the rounds are worked.
When reading the grid pattern, if a round starts “With CC”, it will be the contrasting purl stripe. Work this round with CC but continue to work each K1CC with their individual length of yarn. The vertical stripes will always be worked with their own length of yarn. For the rows that do not start with a specific colour, work the row in MC.
For the horizontal stripes, CC can be carried up inside the hat, or broken and woven in later each CC round.

Notes
この帽子はカーディガンとマッチする同じ格子柄を使っているが, 輪で編むため, CC周を編んだ後に針の位置を変える必要はない.
ここでは, コードが長めの輪針とマジックループを使用しているが, 好みで短い40 cm の輪針を使用し, クラウン部分では4本棒針に変更してもよい.
縦のストライプを編むためにインターシャのメソッドを使用する. 1周目を編む際, K1CC を編むときに別のCCの糸を付ける. 付ける糸の長さは約100 cmにする. 長さは正確でなくても構わない. 短い場合には新しく糸を付け替える頻度が高くなり, 長い場合には絡まりやすくなる. これらの糸端は編み進めるに従って編地に巻き込まれていく.
格子柄についての説明を読む際, 「CCを使用」で始まる場合には配色糸の裏編みのストライプの周になる. この周はCCで編むが, 各K1CCについてはそれぞれ縦ストライプ用に付けた糸で編む. 縦ストライプは常に別につけた専用の糸で編む. 特定の色の指示で始まらない周については, MCで編む.
横方向のストライプについては, CCを帽子の内側で上へと渡していくか, CCの周ごとに糸を切って後から糸始末をする.
