Pine Star

Introducing the **Pine Star Hat**, a beautifully crafted winter accessory inspired by the traditional Selbu mittens of Norway. This cozy hat showcases a delightful combination of pine bough and star patterns that are commonly embraced in Selbu designs. The ribbed brim features charming stripes reminiscent of classic mittens, while the hat's crown is shaped in elegant wedges, creating a stunning gathered top that is capped off with a small, dense pompom for added whimsy.

Yarn Requirements:

For this project, we recommend using Barrett Wool Co. Wisconsin Woolen Spun Worsted Weight yarn, made from 100% wool, which comes in 250 yards (228 meters) per 50 grams. You'll need the following:

• 1 skein of Rain Shower (Main Color - MC) and 1 skein of Coal (Contrast Color - CC)
• 1 skein of Oat (MC) and 1 skein of Hawthorn (CC)

Note: Samples used approximately 50 grams of the Main Color and 25 grams of the Contrast Color, with at least 4 grams reserved for the pompom. This ensures a lovely finish for your hat.

If you're looking for an alternative yarn, we have suggested substitutes available to suit your project needs.

Notions Needed:

• 12 Stitch markers - 11 in one color and 1 in a unique or special color for easy identification
• A tapestry needle for weaving in ends
• A 15/8” (41mm) pompom maker (optional, but highly recommended for a professional-looking pompom)

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 11 stitches and 11 rounds per 2 inches (5 cm) in Fair Isle pattern using the largest needles, after blocking for best results.
