magic stripes hat

You know what it's like when you make a striped hat...you're often left with dozens of little ends to sew in - not with this Lion Brand yarn...it's self striping so you only have 2 tails - the beginning and the ending.

Take a look at the photos below and you'll see how great the stripes look and how perfectly it suits jeans or casual gear...his or hers......

The yarn shown here is Lion Brand and is a superwash wool/nylon blend - we've made the pattern open-weave making it sufficiently comfortable to wear on any but the hottest of days.

This magic stripes hat close-up shows you the lovely rolled-brim effect. (click the link below the photo for a larger image) .

If you don't like " sewing up " you'll love this pattern - it's seam less ! and the hat is as tough as old boots.....scrunch it up, throw it in your bag or back-pack ...it loves it and springs back to life as good as new....

You'll find your hat wonderfully versatile - if its warm simply roll the brim up, cold and windy - roll the brim down to cover your ears....

The above hat used a little less than 50g (1.75oz) of yarn. You'll get 2 hats or an extra large hat from one ball of yarn ...economical....

This pattern includes both imperial and metric sizes (cms and inches) and weights, and instructions.
