Védís Jónsdóttir’s hat from Ístex’s Lopi 28, knitted in the round in carmine red Plötulopi: chunky rib that starts in nine strands at the brim and thins to six and then three towards the top, which is bound off loosely and left open to roll up — the photo shows a ponytail through it.

First the plates are wound: three strands together, softly, into 3 balls of different sizes — one ball is 3-ply, two together 6-ply and all three 9-ply. 32 stitches are cast on in 9-ply on 12 mm for 14 rounds of 2×2 rib (k2, p2), then 6 rounds in 6-ply on 10 mm and 5 rounds in 3-ply on the finest needles. A decrease round turns the rib into 2×1 (k2, p1, 24 stitches) for 5 rounds, a second takes it down to 16 stitches, and after 5 rounds of plain knitting the hat is bound off very loosely and left open. It is rinsed by hand in lukewarm water and laid to dry, and the top is left to roll up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 28 (no. 19), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601072816181,"sku":"PAT-EN-STROMPUR","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi28-strompur-1_4d6209c5-c18a-4acd-84a7-3272e94e90b3.jpg?v=1790992774","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/strompur-open-top-plotulopi-hat-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
