I knitted another hat last night, I think I am a bit obsessed at the moment but I wanted a hat to match the cowl that I knitted in the same Riot Chunky Yarn by King Cole.
This time for the first time ever I have made my own pattern so I am quite chuffed!!
Riot Hat Pattern
1 x 100g of Riot Chunky (King Cole) shade 650
1 x pair of 8mm needles
Cast on 58 stitches (I used thumb method)
Row 1 and 3 - K2, P2, repeat to end
Row 2 and 4 – P2, K2, repeat to end
Row 5 – *K2, yf, K2tog, rep from * to end
Row 6 and 8 - Pearl to end
Row 7 – Knit to end
Row 9 – K4, *yf, K2tog, K2, rep from* to end
Row 10, 11, 12, as rows 6, 7, 8
Rows 5 – 12 sets pattern. Continue until work measures 7 or 8 inches ending after a pearl row so right side is facing.
Next Row – K2tog to end
Next Row – P to end
Next Row – K to end
Next Row – P to end
Next Row – K2tog to end
Break of yarn and pass back through stitches on needle and draw up and stitch 2 sides together.

Loved the look so had a go ….but mine did not look like yours?????
Instead of blindly following when I knitted it, I re read it line by line …is row 9 right … and should the pattern repeat be 5-12. I am a recent return to knitting after 30 years so its like starting again …so its probably me.
Beautiful yarn and great pattern …. once i sort it out i’ll try again.

Thanks for noticing this, you are totally right, i must have been a bit over zealous when i wrote the pattern after i had knitted the hat, I will put it right, the pattern repeat is 5- 12 and row 9 should read k4, *yf, k2tog, k2, repeat from * to end. Sorry it took me ages to answer, I havent been on the blog for ages.
