Polar Opposites
Now you can knit your own globe to wear! Worked flat then sewn up, this hat does take a little intarsia know-how, but it’s done before you know it!
Personalize your hat by duplicate stitching your country or state in a separate color, or sewing a bead on your hometown.
Adjust the size of the hat by adjusting your gauge. Each hat is 98 stitches around when sewn up. A gauge of 5.5 stitches per inch will give a hat closer to 18” circumference.
Please note that the shaping on both hats was vastly improved after the Northern Hemisphere Hat shown was made -- the Southern Hemisphere pictures are a much better indication of the shaping on both hats.
