Good to know

Lausn — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?
Children’s or adult: 80 (96) stitches cast on, and a circumference of 44 (53) cm measured flat.
How are the tufts made?
The six pattern colours are carried loosely across the outside of the hat when they are not being knitted. When the hat is finished, you cut those strands in half, tie each colour firmly together by its pattern block, and twist the ends.
Where does the black go?
The chart key does not list black, but the text does: the cast-on and the five rolled rounds at the brim are black, and from round 16 black is the background of the upper part and the whole crown — as on the pattern cover.
Will I have yarn left over?
Yes. The pattern asks for one ball of each colour for either size and notes that leftover yarn is ideal for this hat. The six tuft colours are only knitted in small blocks, so expect most of each of those balls to be left over — our estimate; the pattern gives no weights.
What does the kit with needles include?
3.5 mm (US 4) and 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles in 40 cm; 4.5 mm double-pointed needles — ADDI, as named in the pattern.
