An intermediate-level pattern with fun colorwork in an eye-catching combination of spirals, zigzags, and diamonds, the Verhånnrosa Hat is a Norwegian-style stranded hat — with options either for a tam or a beanie in an adult size — inspired by a traditional motif from Selbu: the verhånnrosa or ramrose. It is knit in one solid main color (MC) and one multicolor contrast color (CC) yarn.
Materials: Fingering weight yarn in two colorways, one solid (MC) and one color-changing (CC). Samples used Knit Picks Palette in Cream and Knit Picks Preciosa Fingering Bare as the MC; and Crystal Palace Yarns Mini Mochi in Color 105 Tapestry Rainbow and Color 124 Greens as the CC. Knit Picks Chroma Fingering would also make a nice CC.
Gauge: 34 sts and 36 rows = 4” (10cm) in stranded stockinette stitch in-the-round using a U.S. Sz. 2 (2.75mm) circular needle (developed using a 40” (100cm) circular and the “magic loop” method).
Finished Dimensions: * For the tam, 16” (40.6cm) brim circumference (unstretched), 10“ (25.4cm) diameter at widest point, 9” (22.9cm) tall from CO to top of hat (flattened). * For the beanie, 16” (40.6cm) brim circumference (unstretched), 8.75” (22.2cm) diameter at widest point, 8.75” (22.2cm) tall (flattened).

I've been knitting and designing since I was a kid. I began developing knitting patterns for Charissa Pray Designs in collaboration with my sister in 2018. My favorite patterns have unusual and spicy stitches and incorporate the natural forms of my off-grid desert home (foxes, spiders, spirals, and knobbly textures), joining traditional elements with the modern, quirky, and even sexy. I believe in a #FashionRevolution and my current work on that revolves around thrifting, quite a bit of visible (and occasional invisible) mending, hand sewing, and knitting.
