Soft warm alpaca hat

Knit a hat in an evening! This matches the scarf I made a couple of weeks ago 😊
They are both remarkably soft, and will keep you nice and warm in cold weather.
What you need:
1 pair of knitting pins size 15 - 3 different colours alpaca yarn, apx 25 grams of each - 1 wool needle to secure the ends.
I used this yarn: AdLibris alpakkagarn which is 125 m per 50 gr bundle.
These colours: Dusty blue - Dusty pink - Off white

Step 1. Use one thread from each colour throughout your work. Cast on 46 stitches.

Step 2. Work rib = K 1/P 1 for 20 cm.

Step 3. K1, K2tog  1 row

Step 4. P2tog 1 row, K2tog 1 row and repeat this until you have 7 stitches left.

Step 5. Cut the thread, and pull it through the remaining stitches.

Step 6. Sew  along the side. Don't make the seam too tight. Secure the ends.

KEEP WARM! 😊
