GAUGE:

18 stitches + 36 rows = 4" (10 cm) over garter stitch (knit every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

When working Stripe Pattern 1, carry colors up along the side edge until the last stripe is completed, then cut all but color A.

When working Stripe Pattern 2, carry color up along the side edge until the last stripe of that color is completed, then cut color.

Join new colors as needed.

Carousel Hat Reviewed by eve starr millett on 2008-07-11
I made this with Vanna's Choice Olive for the green, two strands of microspun for the fuchsia and dark brown stripes, and one strand of Cotton-Ease in Maize for the yellow stripes. It was very easy, although I would have liked to see directions for working this hat circularly. I'm going to make this hat again for gifts, but beware that it runs a little big. I made a gauge swatch with all of the above yarns, and my gauge was perfect, so it wasn't that. I made the size large because my head measures 22", but it's a tad roomy. A fast, easy and cute project. I plan on using the stripe sequences on other projects.
