A cute crossover between a cap and a beret, this gorgeously textured slouchy hat is the perfect way to stay warm in the wintriest weather. Created using Blue Sky Extra, a luxurious blend of baby alpaca and fine merino wool which is lightly spun to be soft and springy. Designed by Elizabeth Mautz-Redmann, the Sweet Sixteen Hat is knitted in the round with short rows and twisted stitches, and is suitable for an intermediate knitter. When complete, your Sweet Sixteen Hat will measure approximately 18 x 9" (46 x 23cm). You will need 4.0 and 5.0mm (US6 and US8) circular knitting needles and 5.0mm (US8) double pointed needles, and you will also need stitch markers.
