Watching ocean waves crash upon themselves on a windy day, it’s hard to miss the white sea spray splashing up and dancing in the air before settling atop a new wave. This aerial spray is called Spindrift and is one of the many reasons onlookers can’t turn away from the beautiful white-capped sea.

The Spindrift Hat is a quick super bulky knit, perfect for last minute gifts. Knit from the brim to the crown, the pattern seamlessly transitions from twisted ribbing to lovely lace. The pattern includes both written and charted instructions and comes in three head sizes ranging from teen to large adult.

SIZES: Teen (Small Adult, Large Adult) = 17 (20, 23)” / 43 (51, 58.5) cm around brim, 10” / 25.5 cm tall.
Sample Size: Small Adult.

GAUGE: 14 sts x 16 rows = 4” / 10 in twisted rib on smaller needles in the round after blocking.
13 sts x 15 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in lace pattern on larger needles in the round after blocking.

YARN: Madelinetosh ASAP (90 yrds / 82 m, 127g / 4.5 oz, 100% Superwash Merino Wool); 1 (1, 2) skeins of colorway Memory, or roughly 80 (90, 100) yrds / 73 (82, 91) m of any super bulky weight yarn to obtain gauge.

NEEDLES: US size 10.5 (6.5 mm) 16” / 40 cm circular needles for brim, US size 13 (9 mm) 16” / 40 cm circular needles and dpns for lace, or any sizes necessary to obtain gauge.
