Description

Védís Jónsdóttir’s Manhattan Hat for Ístex: a Léttlopi beanie with a city skyline — dark galaxy buildings with apricot and mimosa windows against an air blue and fjord blue sky — and two little ears at the top, or a classic round top.

Included

Icelandic Léttlopi wool yarn — one ball of each colour, enough for either size (our estimate — the pattern gives no amounts)
Knitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase
ADDI knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles

Gauge
18 sts × 24 rows = 10 cm (4″) in stocking stitch on 4.5 mm needles.

Needles used in the pattern (included when you choose the kit with needles)
3.5 mm (US 4) and 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles, 40 cm
4.5 mm double-pointed needles

Not included
Two stitch holders for the “ears” version, and a tapestry needle.

How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the brim up: 3 cm of seed-stitch rib in galaxy on 3.5 mm, then a 19-round chart on 4.5 mm — dark buildings with apricot and mimosa windows against an air blue and fjord blue sky — and plain fjord blue to the top. Finish with two little “ears”: the middle stitches are grafted together across the top and each side is decreased into a small point. Or knit the classic round top given in the pattern.

Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from the Manhattan Hat single pattern, Ístex.

Good to know

Manhattan Hat — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?

S/M or M/L: 90 or 96 stitches cast on, about 50 or 53 cm round at the pattern’s gauge (our calculation — the pattern gives only the length, 19 or 20 cm to the top shaping).

How much yarn does it take?

The pattern gives no amounts. The kit holds one ball of each of the five colours — about 500 m in all, as Ístex gives Léttlopi as about 100 m per 50 g ball. Ravelry’s listing for this pattern (not the Ístex leaflet) gives 498 m and notes that you won’t use up all the yarn making one hat, so expect leftovers.

How are the ears made?

At the top, the middle stitches of the front and back are grafted together, and the stitches at each side are knitted into a small point. The pattern also gives a classic round top if you prefer.

The pattern mentions a pink top option — is it included?

No. The kit has the colours in the photo; the pink option (1705 royal fuchsia and/or 1412 pink heather) is an alternative the pattern names in one line, without saying which colours it replaces.

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.
