Overview
What's in the kit
Védís Jónsdóttir’s Týra hat from Ístex’s Lopi 25 — the matching hat for the Týra children’s sweater: a pink Léttlopi beanie with a navy K1, P1 rib brim that is folded up, and one narrow band of green, pink and yellow — the same band that tops the colourwork on the sweater. Children’s size 3–6. The sweater is in the same leaflet and is sold as a separate kit. The pattern’s sun yellow (1411) is no longer made; this kit has 1703 mimosa in its place.
Included
- Icelandic Léttlopi wool yarn — 4 balls, one of each colour, as the pattern lists (the hat has one size)
- Knitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase
- ADDI knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles

Size
Children’s size 3–6 (one size). The pattern gives no measurements; with 80 stitches at 18 stitches to 10 cm, the hat is about 44 cm (17¼″) round (our calculation), with a 14-round ribbed brim that is folded up.
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 (US 7) double-pointed needles for the crown
Not included
A tapestry needle for weaving in the ends. The matching sweater is a separate kit.
How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the brim up. 80 stitches are cast on in navy on the 3.5 mm circular and knitted in K1, P1 rib for 14 rounds. On 4.5 mm come 4 plain rounds (navy in the photo — the pattern does not name the colour), then a 7-round band from the Týra sweater chart — small green and pink motifs with yellow dots — and 14 rounds of plain pink. The crown is decreased 8 stitches at a time in eight steps, with a plain round after each of the first two, down to 16 stitches, and the yarn is drawn through. Change to double-pointed needles when the stitches get too few for the circular. The rib is folded up at the end.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 25 (no. 12), Ístex.
