The Sisterdale Hat begins with a deep 3” /7.6 cm ribbing. Fold the ribbing up for a close fit beanie or not for a little slouch.

It’s a three color slip stitch pattern, you are working with just one color per round, changing colors every round. A combination of simple knit, purl and slip stitches along with the color changes makes a complex looking fabric very easy to achieve.

The small batch undyed natural yarn from Orchid Hill Farms was a joy to design with. Its gauge is slightly heavier than the Woolstok, which is not often found in commercial yarns.
