Pebbles and Stones Hat

Hi everyone! This pattern is for a hat I like to call “Pebbles and Stones,” due to the use of the rice stitch (resembles pebbles) and the baubles at the top (resemble stones). The first hat I made with this pattern was knit with Shepherd’s Wool, Worsted, in Lakeshore. I bought it at one of my favorite yarn stores… and I am in love! It was $13.50 for 250 yards, but let me tell you - it’s worth it! The yarn is soft and squishy, and I am really excited to give it to my 80 year old Aunt Toddie.

Materials:

  • You can use any kind of worsted weight yarn you want, using approximately 160 yards.
  • US sz 8 circular, 16 inches
  • Stitch marker

Let’s Begin!

  1. Cast on 91 sts, join ends together, making sure not to twist. Add placemarker to remind you where the beginning/end of the row is.
  2. Work in k1 p1 for 1.5 inches
