I’ wear your co ors, my ear ‘Til you’re standin’ right here Next to the one who adores youWhose heart is beating for youLike a lighthouse guides a shipwrecked sailor Safely from the sea I’ll wear your colors ‘til You come back home to me

7/27/2019 Colors - A Hat

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/colors-a-hat 2/2

a hatEver on the search for patterns to flaunt variegated yarns (and afflictedwith a disdain for slipping stitches over other stitches), this wonderfulstitch quickly became a favorite of mine. Simple enough to work on

while watching television with no annoying psso’s!  MaterialsAbout 100 yards aran weight yarn US 8-10 16” circular needle (or dpns)

Specia l Stitch - p2pw:  pass two stitches purlwise

Pattern Notes • This pattern is easily adaptable to any weight yarn by casting on any

multiple of four. This obviously may change the yardage requirements

• Your own personal tension will determine what needles you use. I’ve used both 8’s and 10’s for this with success both times, so It’s really upto you. If you’re running low on yarn & are worried about runningout or if your aran is on the bulkier side, the larger needle may be the way to go. You don’t want it to be too loose, either though.

PatternCO 80 sts and work 2x2 ribbing for 10 rows.Row 1: [k2, yif, p2pw to left-hand needle, yib, p2pw to right-hand needle, k2] aroundRow 2: K aroundRow 3: [yif, p2pw to left-hand needle, yib, p2pw to right-hand needle, k4] aroundRow 4: K aroundRepeat these four rows until you have between 6 & 7 inches length from CO (longer will give you some slouch).
