Ellie is a feminine lace hat with bobbles and picot edges. The example is knitted with one strand of Sandnes Alpakka Silke and one strand of Silk Mohair held together, but other yarns may be used if they give a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rounds = 10 × 10 cm / 4 × 4 inches using 4 mm / US 6 needles. The diamond pattern is easier to knit than it looks - just 9 stitches wide and 8 rounds repeated around the hat. The hat is worked from the bottom up in the round. Choose between a length of either 21 cm for a close fit, or 26 cm leaving room for hair / ponytail. Circumference: 50 cm / 19,75 inches Length: 21-26 cm / 8¼ -10¼ inches This is a quick and fun project requiring just 1 skein of each yarn, or one skein in total with thicker yarn. The Ellie Hat is part of the Ellie collection which includes a matching cowl and sweater.
