Anemoi Hat Pattern

Anemoi Hat
This hat is the perfect mate for the Anemoi Mittens by Eunny Jang. Let the cold winds blow! Please post any comments, corrections, or improvements. Also, send links to photos of your own Anemoi Hat.

Materials
Yarn: 1 skein of Wildfoote Vanilla [MC], 1 skein of Wildfoote Blue Boy [CC]
Needles: US 2 circular needles, 16 inch and set of 5 US 2 double pointed needles
Notions: stitch marker, tapestry needle

Size
The pattern is written to fit a medium-sized head (about 21-22 inch circumference). You should be able to adjust the size by adding or subtracting a pattern repeat and proportionally reducing or increasing the cast-on.

Gauge
36 sts / 32 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Notes
I made this a bit loose because I intend to sew in a fleece liner. If you do not want to line the hat, knit in a smaller needle size.

For lack of a legend, read the charts thus: shaded squares are CC, white squares are MC, S = slip stitch purlwise with the yarn in back, / = knit 2 together.

Ribbing
Using circular needles, CO 160 st. Place marker, join to work in the round being careful not to twist. Knit one round.

Rib round 1: Attach CC; k1MC, k1CC, *k1MC, p1MC, k1MC, k1CC, rep from *, end k1MC, p1MC.
Rib round 2: k1MC, p1CC, *k1MC, p1MC, k1MC, p1CC, rep from *, end k1MC, p1MC.

Repeat round 2 eight more times or until desired length of ribbing.

Hat Body
Increase round: With MC, *k4, m1. Repeat from * to end of round. 200 st.
Knit one round MC.
Knit one round CC.
Knit two rounds MC.
Follow chart one. Eliminate or repeat diamond pattern (red bracketed section) for smaller or larger sizes.

Crown
Slip Stitch decrease round one (round 1 of chart two): With MC only, *sl1wyib (this will be in CC), k16, k2tog, sl1wyib (this will also be in CC). Repeat from * to end of round.
Resuming stranded colorwork, continue following chart two until there are 10 st remaining. K2tog five times so that there are 5 stitches left, break yarn and thread it through remaining stitches. Pull tight, weave in ends.

Finishing
Weave in all ends and block hat thoroughly. Sew in fleece liner.

I LOVE this hat! I'm going to try to make it in red & white for my daughter. I've never seen Wildfoote yarn here where I live. Can you give me any idea what other yarns might be comparable in size?

Thanks!
Scott

I made this hat for my grandmother three years ago, my mother lined it in felt. Granny, however, refused to wear it saying it was too beautiful and kept it on her hatrack. I had lost this pattern until tonight and am so incredibly pleased to find it again! Thank you so much, for me and for her
