Horno

Description

Knit in the round with worsted weight yarn, this versatile hat can be worn cuffed as a snug watch cap or un-cuffed as a slouchy toque. A tubular cast on creates a sleek edge for the tall ribbed cuff, while the crown of the hat is worked in a textured slip stitch pattern particularly well suited for showing off variegated and hand dyed yarn. The pattern is written for three sizes to fit babies, children and adults. Written and charted instructions are included.
