Great hat but error in the pattern. If you keep doing the knit stitch and don’t do a second reverse it ends up being a pearl stitch from the last roll up to the crown. Picture looks like knit which I like better.

Hi Pat,
Thank you for your comment. Actually, the pattern is quite literal without an error. Perhaps I should have named the pattern the “Surprise Double Roll Storm Hat”. The double roll happens as a surprise when working in the round towards the crown of the hat(patience may be required as one has to knit in the round for awhile after the reverse before the second roll happens all on its own!). So rest assured, if you attempt to make this hat again, that the directions have NO error and has only ONE reverse of direction. I am pleased you are happy with the hat! Happy Knitting! Annie

This hat is so cute! I was wanting to knit a rolled hat and thankfully found your pattern to save me the trial and error of figuring this out. Excited about how it “surprises”. Thank you!
Annie –
Hi Katie, I am so pleased you were patient for the surprise double-roll that happens all on its own! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a year ahead filled with great knitting projects.

This hat is so pretty! I just bought the pattern on revelry and have started it in small. CO of 72 stitches. Do I follow the pattern exactly the same from there on?
Thank you!

Annie –
Yes with the exception of the decrease. You can knit the number of inches to crown provided but your decrease numbers will be different because of fewer sts. at the start.
Sue –
Can you knit this on straight needles?
Annie –
This pattern is a circular knit pattern. One would have to do a total redesign to figure out how to accomplish these same surprise double rolls if possible. Sorry, pattern is not available for straight needles.

Julie Polwarth –
Hello, I saw your pattern on Ravelry and plan to knit the hat. In Ravelry it says the recommended yarn is Bulky and you suggest using a 3-ply yarn. Are bulky and 3-ply the same? I would have thought a worsted weight yarn or a sport weight would be a closer match. Thank you for your help
Annie –
This pattern with the Bulky yarn creates and windproof winter hat because of the thickness of the yarn. Bulky yarns can sometimes be a 3-ply yarn but not necessarily. Knitting a swatch to check your gauge is the most important thing to check.

I too thought there was a mistake and actually undid about 2 ” of knitting before I read your reply above. Obviously not patient enough! I’ll try again.
ELEANOR ANDY –
love this hat and have made it with #5 yarn exactly as the pattern says. Beautiful double rim DID magically appear. If I want to use #4 yarn, what size needles, and how many stitches would I cast on?
Annie –
You will have to experiment with needle size to make sure you are getting the gauge indicated in the pattern. To make the hat smaller you can either use a smaller needle or change the number of stitches by 6. Wishing you success on your redesign. Annie
Barbara –
Am wondering if a small will fit a 21 inch head which is what I have been knitting.
Annie –
Hi Barbara, It is likely it will fit but a lot depends on how close you are to gauge in your knitting. You can do the math to figure out the number of stitches for a small hat divided by the gauge you are knitting (after doing a swatch). That can give you the inches in circumference. I hope this information is helpful.

Debbie –
I knitted two hats and the second roll didn’t happen. Followed the pattern?
Annie –
Hi Debbie, any
My pattern is very literal in the instructions. If the pattern leaves you with specific questions, I am happy to troubleshoot with you to see where things may have gone off-course to accomplish the double roll. You will see the double roll form as you knit toward the crown of the hat. Just email me at anniwool@annieswoolens.com for any help. I’d love to know that you were able to have success!
Annie –
If you continue to have troubles, please feel free to reach out to me and I can see where you ran into trouble. My email is on our website. I hope to hear from you as I consider supporting my customers with their Annie’s Woolens projects as one of my services.
Nancy –
I only loom knit. Is this pattern workable on an a round loom?
Annie –
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with a round loom. I am sorry. I am unable to answer your question.
Geri Sanford –
You’re so clever. Thank you for the pattern.
I love the hat. The second roll makes the depth of the crown adjustable. It’s snug and cozy.
Geri –
Hi Annie. Thank you for this pattern. It’s so clever. It’s a snug fit and doesn’t ride up, so your ears stay warm. I’ve made five so far, four for friends and finally, one for me. I wore it for the first time today. Love it. I will be making more. It’s a great way to use leftover yarn…Geri
Annie –
I am so happy to learn you are enjoying making this pattern for others and love the hat you made for yourself! Thank you for sharing. Happy Knitting!
Maureen –
I have a question, what yarn is used even better the color. The suggested yarn 3 ply Bartlett has more than one selection. I like to use what the designer used. Tks for any help
Annie –
Hi Maureen, Thank you for your inquiry. I believe the color I used in Bartlettyarns 3-ply yarn for the Double-Roll Storm Hat was Dark Heather. It is among the Fisherman Yarns 3-ply collection. I hope you find this information helpful in your decision-making.
Annie
Annie –
The Bartlettyarns 3-ply yarn I used for the photo on the website is Jade Heather – also found among the Fisherman Collection of the 3-ply yarns.
