B'y The Sea Crochet
This is a lighter weight knit meets crochet hat with the brim done on the Addi Express King Size - 46 needle Knitting machine!This pattern consists of machine knitting and crochet techniques. I wanted the brim to be warm enough on the ears without the hat being too bulky.
Perfect for the Spring Trail Walking or 4 Wheeling!
Please read through the pattern first
The yarn I used for this pattern are on the lighter side of a #4 worsted. Makes for a less bulky brim yet the double thickness makes it warm.
Your tension will play a big part in the brim part of the pattern
(I pulled my yarn out of the ball first and used NO tension for the brim! I was just gently holding the yarn!) I used a lighter tension as I wanted a lot of stretch in my brim.
So that being said if you want a smaller hat use a firmer tension.
HINT : I always use a folded piece of wax paper to hold in my tension hand and have the yarn slide through it as I crank the machine! ( I treat my machine with kid gloves as I want it to last me a long time!) I have found using the technique that my piece looks better while almost never having issues with drop or twisted stitches.
So please think about the yarn you are going to use for this project as it makes a huge difference! I think Hobby Lobby’s I Luv This Yarn would be a great choice!
But I cannot get it here in Canada!
HINT Be Sure you machine is properly Mounted and secure!!! I also use the cupboard mesh liner under my machine ( see pic below )

This hat fits my most men's heads due to the stretchy band.

So if you are making this for a child use a tighter tension.
