Route 99 by Lee Meredith
an art deco inspired, turban style hat for modern knitters
- all slip-stitch colorwork (only use 1 color at a time)
- fun modular construction
- pattern is charted and written
- try wearing it with the panel in different places for different looks
- three height sizes and three circumferences
- circumferences and heights can be mixed & matched
- connected entirely with short rows, no picked up stitches or seaming
-
you'll need:
- approx 90-150 yards / 85-140 meters in each of 2 solid colors fingering weight yarn, samples shown here are in: Spud & Chloe Fine (approx 140 yards / 128 meters used of each color for the largest size) and Made in America Yarns Wayfarer (approx 112 yards / 102 meters used of each color for the medium size)
- size US 3 (3.25mm) 32" (or longer) circular needle (or size to get gauge of 27.5 sts and 34 rows per 4 inches / 10 cm, in stockinette stitch)
- an extra needle one or two sizes smaller than your main needle, a cable needle (unless you'll be cabling without one), stitch markers, crochet hook & scrap yarn for provisional cast-on
- the recommended provisional cast-on is the crochet method shown here; you can find tutorials for cabling without a cable needle here, and twisted stitches here.
