Developed as a prototype for a “Batts to Hats” competition, this speedy hat spins up fast at 5 wraps per inch, and knits up fast at 5 sts = 2”. The swirling rib pattern gives pizzazz (and poking fluffs of contrasting silk top into your roving gives a color ping to the reverse stockinette stitch at the turn of the crown!). Double-pointed needles get things started, and a 16” circular speeds you to the finish line. Pattern on pages 5 & 6 of the download.
