Zigi Hat

Zigi is a pretty and simple, slightly slouchy hat with an easy zig-zag stranded pattern. The hat is knitted in the round, seamlessly from bottom to top.

Note: This pattern has not been tested so I will be very grateful if you let me know if you find any mistakes.

Sizes

( 1, 2 )

1 – small adult: To fit 52.5 cm / 21” head circumference.

2 – large adult: To fit 57.5 cm / 23” head circumference.

Length: ( 22, 24 )cm / ( 8.75, 9.5 )” – length is adjustable.

Yarn

For a hat you’ll need about ( 130, 140 )m / ( 142, 153 )y of MC and ( 35, 40 )m / ( 38, 44 )y of CC of any DK weight yarn.

Note: The yardage is estimated.

Needles

3.0 mm / US #2.5 circular needles for magic-loop or dpns, or three sizes smaller than the gauge needles.

3.75 mm / US #5 circular needles for magic-loop or dpns, or size needed to get the right gauge.

4.0 mm / US #6 circular needles for magic-loop or dpns, or one size bigger than the gauge needles.

Gauge

22 sts and 28 rounds = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 “ - in stockinette stitch with 3.75 mm / US #5 needles, after wet blocking.

22 sts and 28 rounds = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 “ - in stranded colorwork with 4.0 mm / US #6 needles, after wet blocking.

Note: Adjust needle size if necessary to get given gauge. I recommend swatching for both, solid stockinette stitch as well as stranded colorwork – swatch should be made in the rounds.
