Morehouse Farm Merino
Mushroom Cap

A MOREHOUSE ORIGINAL PATTERN


Size: Adult or Child

Yarn:
145 yards of worsted weight yarn in the main color and about 8 yards in a contrast color for the stripe. The sample shown was knit with Morehouse Merino 3-Strand Yarn (2 skeins will make 2 hats by reversing colors).

Needles: Set of double-pointed #5 or #6
(size to obtain gauge)

Gauge: 5 stitches = 1 inch
over unstretched rib pattern


With contrast color yarn, cast on 88 (80) stitches.

Join and work in rib pattern as follows:

*knit 2 stitches, purl 2 stitches;
repeat from * to end of round.

Work 6 to 8 rounds in rib pattern.
Switch to main color yarn and knit 1 round.

Continue working in rib pattern
(knit 2 stitches, purl 2 stitches)
until hat measures 7” (6”) from cast-on edge.

Decreases: work next round as follows:
*knit 2 stitches together, purl 2 stitches together; repeat from * to end of round. Work the next 6 rounds in new rib pattern: *knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch; repeat from * to end of round. Next round: knit first stitch, *knit 2 stitches together; repeat from * to last stitch, knit last stitch together with first stitch on next round. Repeat this last round, then pull yarn through remaining stitches.
