Original Jan-Knit Design - 2007Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, the Cascade Mountain Range has always been my home. When wearing the hat, three of the lace “mountains” are visible at one time, reminding me of The Three Sisters. My yarn is recycled from a thrifted sweater. It is 100% wool that I hand dyed with food-quality colors. The blues/purples are not unlike the sunset skies over the mountains of Oregon.
Materials:
DK/Light Worsted (11wpi) -- Approximately 90yards.
#7 US circular needles
#7 US double point needles
Darning needle
Stitch marker (optional)
Gauge: 17 st = 4” in stockinette stitch
Beginning at lower edge:
CO 84
K 12 rnds (note: To add more length to the hat, knit more rnds here.)
Follow pattern chart for fifteen rows.
K even until piece measures 6” (or desired length) from cast-on
Begin dec:
Rnd 1: dec 4 evenly spaced
Rnd 2 and each even rnd: knit around
Rnd 3: (k8, k2tog) around
Rnd 5: (k7, k2tog) around
Rnd 7: (k6, k2tog) around
Rnd 9: (k5, k2tog) around
Rnd 11: (k4, k2tog) around
Rnd 13: (k3, k2tog) around
Rnd 15: (k2, k2tog) around
Rnd 17: (k1, k2tog) around
Rnd 19: (k2tog) around
Break yarn leaving a 6” tail. Thread tail through remaining stitches with darning needle, pulling firmly. Fasten off on inside of hat. Weave in ends. Block using preferred method appropriate for yarn.

Wow, I love the green one, but this purple beauty is stunning.
I'm jealous--a desert-dweller dreaming of relocating to the Pacific NW.....
Thanks for the pattern!
Thanks for the neat pattern! I made it with size 8 needles in a bright blue Caron 1-lb. yarn and it is beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pattern.
Yay! Send a photo! I'd love to see it!
I am knitting this beautiful pattern for my donation to the hat collection at The Yarn Harlot's appearance at WEBS. :) Thanks for writing such an amazing pattern!
Wow! Thank you so much for letting me know that! I'm honored!
I ran across your pattern on Ravelry and it would be perfect for my good friend for x-mas. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with the rest of us. Have a great day!
Hi Janet- how much yarn did you use for this hat? thanks!
Thanks for all your comments!
Kristen...since I didn't keep great notes with the first one, I had to make another!!! It took about 90yards of DK-weight yarn. Thanks for the question!!
Thanks for a beautiful pattern with a magnificent inspiration.
OHMYGOSH--I just found this lovely pattern again and found my first comment made in March-now I'm getting ready to move to Seattle!!! And quite probably sit down and knit this hat for myself as a Christmas gift before the move. Cool! Merry Christmas, Jan-Knit!
kt...you're going to love the NW!! Welcome! And have fun with your new hat!!!
I tried your model. I didn't do it with a circular needle. I did it with 5 needles.
Thank you. The model is beautiful.
Always nice to see someone else's projects. Thought I'd do a mini blog walk this am before heading to work for a look see.
The darker hats are a bit hard to see the pattern in the picture, but the bright red and the white hats show are wonderful!
Very nice indeed, thanks for sharing.
Please stop in for a visit, the welcome mats always out.

I'm pretty new to knitting, so this looks a little difficult for me, but since my husband is an avid climber of south sister, I think I'll make myself one to cheer him on.

Oh, Kacey, that's wonderful!! I can't wait to see it! Please let me know if you need any assistance.
This is such a good pattern. Thank you for it! I made three!
Thank you for posting your pattern. I've been looking for hat patterns for a friend who is undergoing chemo and yours is perfect for some DK weight alpaca yarn I have in my stash.
