This pattern came from the book "The Knitting Stitch Bible" by Maria Parry-Jones. It's called Fair Isle design on pg 199. The pattern is multiple of 12 stitches + 9. I did 57 stitches but next time I would make it a bit bigger around and a bit shorter to fit Sydney's head better. I'm not sure if I followed the chart right as certain rows did not match up at beginning and end, so that part is the back of the hat, it's hardly noticeable tho'. You're probably wondering how I did 57 stitches on the Wonderloom...I just angled the slider piece and wa la 57 stitches! The Wonderloom is great because it's so adaptable. I highly recommend it!
A bit stretched but Sydney sure liked the colours! We're almost into summer here and I had to tell her she could not wear it to school this morning as it's supposed to get up to 23C today!
I did a crochet cast on, K1 P1 for ten rows for the brim, the pattern (20 rows), and 20 rows of e-wrap, finishing up with the gather method to close.

I love it. I can't wait to get my Wonderloom SG. I also need to invest in the stitch bible you and lisa are making such beautiful designs from. Bravo! Where in Canada are you from. I love Canada particularly, Kelowna British Colombia area. Canadians are such wonderful people. I love all your work, photos, and original creations.
How did you handle swtichig colors? Did you cut and tie, or drop the yarn, and pick up again? was it a mess inside, like mine seem to be? hehe Lovely hat!
