If you would like to knit this hat, you will need the
following materials:
150 g (3 skeins) Schachenmayr original Catania
Grande in lavender col. 03208.
Milward double-pointed needles (dp ndls) 4 mm / US
6 Milward dp ndls 4.5 mm / US 7 or a 4.5 mm / US 7
circular knitting needles 24 inches / 60 cm long
Wool needle with a blunt tip
The following stitch patterns will be used for the hat:
Rib pattern: Work in rounds. K2, P2 alternately.
Stocking stitch (st st): Work in rounds. K all stitches.
Lace pattern: number of stitches must be a
multiple of 4. Work in rounds as follows:
Rnds 1 and 2: K all stitches.
Rnd 3: *1 yarn over needle, K2 tog, K2, repeat from
* to end of round.
Rnds 4 and 5: K all stitches.
Rnd 6: *K2, 1 yarn over needle, K2 tog, repeat from
* to end of round. Work rounds 1 – 6 as ofen as
necessary.
Gauge swatches are very important.
They show whether or not a finished object
will be the given size.
For a good gauge swatch, observe the following:
Always use the suggested yarn for your gauge swatch.
Always knit or crochet the given pattern.The gauge
swatch should measure at least 5 x 5 inches (12 x 12
cm). Treat the finished gauge swatch as you plan to
treat the finished knit or crocheted piece. If blocking
and dampening are part of the finishing process for
the object, then treat your gauge swatch the same
way. Count the number of stitches in a 4 x 4 inch (10 x 10
cm) area in the center of the gauge swatch. If your
gauge swatch is too tight (i.e. you need more stitches
and rows than given), then make a new gauge swatch
with larger needles. If your gauge swatch is too loose
(i.e. you need fewer stitches and rows than given),
then make a new gauge swatch with smaller needles.
Gauge: 16 stitches and 22 rounds with 4.5 mm needles in st st = 4 x 4 inches / 10 x 10 cm.

Now you can get started, just follow these instructions:
The hat is knit from bottom to top. With the 4 mm dp
ndls, cast on 80 stitches and distribute evenly over
4 ndls. Join to a round and work 6 rounds in rib pattern. Then work 1 round st st, increasing 12 stitches
evenly spaced across the round by working 1 st each
into the running thread = 92 stitches. Now change to
the larger ndls and continue in lace pattern. Afer 48
rounds (= about 81/2 inches / 21 cm) from rib band,
continue in st st and decrease as follows to shape
the hat:
Rnd 1: *K2, K2 tog, repeat from * to end of round = 69
Rnd 2: K all stitches.
Rnd 3: K 2 stitches each tog, end with K 1 = 35 stitches.
Rnd 4: K all stitches.
Rnd 5: as round 3 = 18 stitches.
Rnd 6: K 2 stitches each together = 9 stitches.
Cut the yarn and use the wool needle to pass the
yarn end through the remaining stitches to pull
them together.
That‘s it! Your My Mountain hat is finished!
