For summer I would go with a cotton or cotton/linen blend. Linen is especially great for heat I find. The key will be to get gauge and make it perhaps a little bigger than you think you might need. The original yarn for this pattern is a silk/wool blend and silk sags out while wool is elastic - in that blend, the hat's fit is forgiving. Cotton can sag out but there's no elasticity to snap it back. Linen stays pretty rigid so that would help the hat hold its shape. I checked on Ravelry for other yarns in a DK weight that would help you get gauge and I think KnitPicks CotLin yarn would be a great solution and easy to source. Cascade Yarns' Ultra Pima doesn't have any linen but it could work well too, as could Tahki Yarns Cotton Classic. <br />I really hope one of these solutions can help you out Anne... like we women don't have enough to deal with in life!Mary Keenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260934319762115179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-37320017994368035832023-03-20T19:24:48.070-04:002023-03-20T19:24:48.070-04:00Thank you so much for making this fun hat free for...Thank you so much for making this fun hat free for those of us who are having “hair issues”- I am rapidly losing my hair to Alopecia and not only is my head cold because my hair has thinned out SO much plus I have many totally bald spots.

Calculations for felt...Unknown, what a good idea! <br /><br />Calculations for felting are always so iffy, but I would start by knitting 8" or so of 20 or 21 stitches (the overall count being 42" for the case), using the same gauge as for the case itself. That way you've got a good shot at the size you really want, and if it's a bit too big you can always trim it down :^) Mary Keenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260934319762115179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-36868096200122701912022-12-13T09:17:12.199-05:002022-12-13T09:17:12.199-05:00I have been looking for a pattern such as this but...I have been looking for a pattern such as this but with the pocket on the back the same width as the case to hold my iPhone. <br />Can you suggest how to adapt the pattern to make the pocket felted?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046456368499672184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-19844926008235852612022-12-12T20:22:14.070-05:002022-12-12T20:22:14.070-05:00Happy holidays to you too Gina!
