I'm quite happy with how this little hat came out -- and in fact, I'm wondering how it would look as an adult hat... maybe I'll make one for my sister Di. I'm thinking that if I follow the same pattern with a worsted weight yarn on size 7 needles... and maybe if I cast on 150 stitches?? hmmm I'll probably need to do some calculations... or maybe I'll just start knitting...

• materials:
  • set of size 2 double pointed needles
  • 2 balls of sport weight yarn in contrasting colors (or you could use a varigated yarn)
    This pattern really needs to have stripes to get the full effect
• pattern:
  • The pattern is free and available in both English and Norwegian (come on -- you know you've always wanted to knit in Norwegian)
  • The stripe pattern I used is:
    • 7 white, 1 green
    • 6 white, 2 green
    • 5 white, 3 green
    • 4 white, 4 green
    • 3 white, 5 green
    • 2 white, 6 green
    • 1 white, 7 green
    • green til the end
  • To make the chin ties, I used the same "twisted ropes" that I used in my Bamboozled headband
