Llanes

The Llanes hat is a basic 2x2 rib hat that comes in 3 sizes, from age 2 to adult. It is worked in the round from the ribbed edge up to the crown. It’s a perfect hat for quick gifts because it’s simple to knit and, thanks to the stretchy fabric, it will fit everyone in the family.

MATERIALS

• 3.5 mm (US 4) needles, 40 cm / 16” long. You can change to 80 cm / 32” long when you get to the crown decreases and use the magic loop method, or use double-pointed needles.
  
• Markers and tapestry needle.
  

SIZES

2-5 years (6-12 years, adult)

YARN

100 (150, 200) m / 109 (164, 219) yd sport-weight yarn. You can also use a fingering-weight thread together with a lace-weight thread or even 3 lace-weight threads together – you’ll need that amount of metres/ yards for each thread.

For the adult version I used John Arbon Yarnadelic (100% corriedale, 333 m / 364 yd in 100 g) in the English Sparrows (green) and Badi Da (greyish blue) colourways.

For the children’s version I used one thread of Along Avec Anna Merino (100% merino, 200 m / 219 yd in 50 g) together with a thread of Along Avec Anna Silk Mohair (72% mohair, 28% silk, 210 m / 230 yd in 25 g) in the following colourways: Royal (blue) with Emeraude (green) and Tourmaline (pale pink) with Pralines (dark pink).

GAUGE

28 stitches and 30 rounds in 10 cm / 4”, in 2x2 rib, after blocking.

Gauge is not too important in this pattern because the fabric is very stretchy, but it may affect the amount of yarn you use.
