Notes: Chōcho hat is worked in one piece from the brim up. The chart is worked using the stranded colourwork method. Keep floats loose to maintain an elastic fabric. For floats longer than 5 stitches, twist yarns together on wrong side of work. Please check your gauge by knitting a substantial swatch in the charted pattern before beginning, as stranded knitting can work up tighter than you would normally knit.
