| Sandy wrote and knitted this pattern using 1 ball of GGH's Esprit yarn.
She used the
Muench Touch Me pattern
Amanda's Velvet Cap
as inspiration and a guide. This hat comes with a few different options as well: add eyelets (shown in the photo)
to the hat and then thread an i-cord or ribbon through for a feminine touch;
wear your hat purl OR knit side out for two completely different looks!

As you likely know, the
Esprit is ridiculously soft and works brilliantly for those with allergies or
sensitive skin. And if you've never knit a hat before, try reading these two articles:

Once you get into the decrease rounds, you'll definitely want to use the DPNs.

- Purl until piece measures 2 inches from CO edge.
- Knit one round.
- **Optional eylet round for use with a ribbon, or I-Cord as follows:
-K5, K2tog, YO* repeat to end of RND
- K all rounds until piece measures 6" from CO edge.
- Decrease as follows:
-RND 1: *K6, K2tog* repeat to end of RND
-RND 2: Knit
-RND 3: *K5, K2tog* repeat to end of RND
-RND 4: Knit
- Continue in this manner until 7 sts remain, cut a 6" tail and run through remaining sts and pull snug. Weave in ends, run ribbon, or I-Cord through eyelets if used.
