Tiny Desk Knitting Episode 2: Maalie Hat

Show Notes

This hat is one of the projects from Fair Isle Weekend. I got my copy from The Woolly Thistle, but you can also check out your LYS to see if they have it! https://thewoollythistle.com/collections/books-mags/products/fair-isle-weekend-by-mj-mucklestone

This hat has a 7” 1×1 ribbed brim, a short colorwork section, and then crown decreases.

Yarn: De Rerum Natura Gilliatt in Poivre Blanc (white) and Forêt (green)

Not scratchy after washing!!!

Here’s my Ravelry project page: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/ebarnaby93/maalie

This hat is unisex because of the tall ribbed brim – it will stretch over almost any head and you can fold over a smaller portion of the brim so that if your head is also taller, it should still fit.

If your colorwork is too tight, go up a needle size or two!

What am I wearing? https://www.ravelry.com/projects/ebarnaby93/lapwing

It’s knit in Jamieson & Smith 2-ply Jumper Weight in colors 131 mix (MC) and 1A (CC)

Diana Walla’s version that I found very helpful: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/diannawalla/lapwing

I’ll make a video at some point about how I edited this sweater pattern to be knit in the round!
