October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are many ways to show and give your support, one of which is to make something meaningful to wear! The Hope Hat is a stunning knit cap featuring a stranded colorwork ribbon and speckle motif in a medley of pink shades beautifully matched to the inspiration. Worsted weight Cotton Supreme is a perfect choice for the Hope Hat, because it is easy to care for and buttery-soft. Even those with ultra-sensitive scalps can wear this yarn with ease.Hope HatDesigned by Rachel BrockmanDIFFICULTYEasySIZESAdult Small (Medium, Large)Shown in Adult Small size.FINISHED MEASUREMENTSBrim Circumference: 17½ (20½, 23¼)”Stretches to approx. 19½ (22½, 25¼)”Height: 8 (8, 8¼)”MATERIALSUniversal Yarn Cotton Supreme (100% cotton; 100g/180 yds)• 628 Super Pink (A) – 1 skein• 510 Magenta (B) – 1 skein• 512 Hot Pink (C) – 1 skeinNeedles: US Size 8 (5 mm) 16” circular and set of DPNs (or your preferred needle for knitting small circumferences) or size needed to obtain gaugeUS Size 6 (4 mm) 16” circularNotions: Tapestry needle, stitch markersGAUGE22 sts x 24 rnds = 4" in stranded knitting with larger ndlSave time, check your gauge.PATTERN NOTESThis hat is knit in the round from the bottom up.
