Prosta in Polish means easy, which I really wanted this pattern to be. It includes instructions on how to create a reversible, striped beanie.
It’s worked fully in the round. Prosta Beanie is also a perfect canvas for a duplicate stitch design of your dreams. I’ve included a chart for my signature Rat and a swirly Rat Tail so that you may also have
a very rat hat!
MATERIALS:
3.5 mm circular needles with a 40 cm cable
3.5 double pointed needles
3.5 crochet hook ( for provisional cast on )
YARN:
recommend a light DK yarn ( 50 g / 120-150 m ). Fibres that would work great for this hat include: alpaca, cashmere and merino wool. The metarge given will provide enough yarn to knit the beanie to the maximum length.
To make a hat with one base colour and two different stripes on each side:
approx. 125 m ( 140 m ) 155 m of colour A ( base )
approx. 63 m ( 70 m ) 78 m of colour B ( contrast )
approx. 63 m ( 70 m ) 78 m of colour C ( contrast )
To make a plain hat with two different colours and a duplicate stitch design on each side ( meterage for the duplicate stitch is attchted to the charts ) :
approx. 125 m ( 140 m ) 155 m of each colour
To make a hat with one base colour with stripes on one side and a duplicate stitch design on the other:
approx. 188 m ( 210 m ) 233 m of colour A
approx. 63 m ( 70 m ) 78 m of colour B
SIZE:
S (M) L = 54-56cm ( 57-59 cm) 60-63 cm
This pattern has negative ease so if you’re on the larger end
of the smaller size I recommend sizing up!
GAUGE:
20 stitches x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockienette stitch on 3.5 mm needles
