Aduki Hat
Aduki hat in Colinette ART yarn
A slouchy, garter stitch hat in an easy, two-colour stripe and slip-stitch pattern.
I designed this hat to show off the beautiful, jewel-like colours of Colinette ART and to make the most of the wool / bamboo blend’s subtle sheen and drape.
The hat is worked in the flat and seamed, and is suitable for novice knitters familiar with knit and purl. You may want to read this article on seaming if you need help with mattress stitch.
Knit it to suit your tastes – add more slouch or make it fitted, two colours or one – it’s up to you!

Yarn & notions
Suitable for worsted / light aran weight yarns. Wool / bamboo or wool / silk blends will give the intended amount of drape, but pure wools and smooth-textured yarns can also be used.

- Contrast colour: 65, (74, 83) metres / 71 (81, 91) yards. Picture in Colinette ART in ‘Star Anise’.
2 x 100 g skeins of Colinette ART will make two hats (with main and contrast colours reversed).
