Knitting pattern for a warm and beautiful hat, that the fortunate recipients of our Advent Calendar received in the first package.
In the softest merinowool we have designed a cheeky, graphic and easy to knit hat, that can be used for yourself, your friend, son, husband, lover or Santa!

1 stitch marker
Recommended circular and double pointed needles size 3½ mm / US 4
Gauge:
24 sts and 34 sts in stockinette stitch on needle 3½ mm / US 4 = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches.
NOTE! The rib pattern is very elastic and is impossible to measure, so knit your gauge swatch in stockinette st.
Directions:
Cast on and knit pattern in the round immediately. Be sure to cast on using a cast on method that is stretchy, such as the good old long tail cast-on over two needles. Knit in pattern straight up, divide the stitches into 8 equal parts and knit the crown of the hat with centered double decreases, for a nice star finish. The pattern on the hat is the same on both sides, so it works fantastic for hats that are to be folded.
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect. Often it is enough to hang your woolen sweater / garment outside in the humid weather or bring it with you into the bathroom, when you take a long, hot shower - the steam will often be enough to freshen it up it and remove any unwanted odors.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Everyday Kit
Neither Önling No 12 nor No 13, is pre-washed when you receive it on cones. You get the best result if you soak your finished knitted garment in lukewarm water for approx. 2 hours. Then wash the garment as you would otherwise with washing detergent for wool, either by hand or on a wool program in your washing machine. Dry it by laying it flat.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Silk kit
As the Silk Kit from Önling contains 3 different qualities (linen, wool and silk), we recommend that you always wash your silk sweater / garment by hand, to avoid it changing shape or appearance during wash. The three qualities will react differently to water, temperatures, etc. Önling can not take responsibility for the result if you wash your silk sweater in the washing machine. Your garment made from the silk kit should NOT be spun or tumble dried. Instead, dry it by laying it flat.
