I’ve been contacted several times recently over the Drupal Hat I made last spring, and I keep saying I’m going to type up the pattern, but I never seem to have gotten around to it. Forgive me if this ends up being full of mistakes, I’m pretty much typing this up off of memory.

Recommended yarn:
MC: Cascade 220 Wool #9468 (for body),
CC: Cascade 220 Wool #8505 (for face)

Needles: Size 10.5 dpns.

Cast on 9 stitches with MC, divide stitches evenly among dpns, 2 sts on the first 3, and 3 stitches on the 4th. Join and work 3 rnds in stockinette.

Next row: Inc1 k1, (inc1, inc1, k1) twice, inc1 - 15 sts.

K two rounds.

Next row: Inc1, k3, (inc1, inc1, k3) twice, inc1 - 21 sts.

K two rounds.

Cont as est. working 2 extra sts per round between incs and 2 rows even between inc rounds until you have 63 sts.

Work 13 rounds even.

Next we’re going to work the face, needle 1 and 2 have the face, needles 3 and 4 are knit with MC across.
