2 skeins Ra-ma (MC) and 1 skein each of Sage (CC1), Blush (CC2), Berry (CC3), and Daffodil (CC4)
Alternate yarns : Jamieson’s Spindrift, Jamieson & Smith 2-ply Jumper Weight
GAUGE
24 stitches and 30 rounds = 4” in charted pattern on Main Fabric Needle
NEEDLES
Main Fabric Needle: Two 16” circulars and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs) in size needed to
obtain gauge
Suggested size: US 3 (3.25 mm)
I-Cord Needle: One 16” circular or DPN in one size smaller than Main Fabric Needle
Suggested size: US 2 (2.75 mm)
Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain correct gauge
TOOLS
Blunt tapestry needle, stitch markers, small amount of waste yarn for provisional cast on
FINISHED DIMENSIONS (after blocking)
Brim circumference: 20” to fit adult head size 20–23”
Length: 9 ½“
TECHNIQUES
Crochet chain provisional cast on, cable cast on, I-cord bind off, stranded colorwork
PATTERN OVERVIEW
POSEY begins with a provisional cast on. A lining is worked for the brim in a series of stripes to balance the yarn usage between the colors. After a purl turning round, the outer brim is worked in colorwork patterns, then the provisional stitches are returned to a second needle and the lining and brim are knit together into a single layer. I-Cord Bind Off is added for a decorative welt and additional structure. Stitches for the crown are picked up from the brim and worked in banded colorwork patterns with flower-like motifs at the crown.
NOTE: Knitters choice as to whether to carry colors up or break and weave in.
