Vite Hat is a simple, one-skein knit that works up very quickly and is terrific for last-minute gifts. The design for this came from a skein of Miss Babs’ new yarn base Madison, which I picked up in Rhinebeck. I loved the softness and “cuddly” nature of this yarn so much that I also designed a cowl to match. The hat consists of a simple k1, p1 ribbing followed by a simple pattern stitch and is then concluded with k1, p1 ribbing to shape the crown.

Sizes
S/M: 17” (unstretched) in circumference by 8.75” tall
L/XL: 20.5” (unstretched) in circumference by 9.25” tall

The pattern stitch has great elasticity and thus the hat can accommodate a full range of sizes. Additionally, the height of the hat is easily adjusted and directions are included in the pattern.
