Free Pattern: Rikke Hat
Posted by Jessa on January 31, 2011 / 21 Comments
We are very excited to release our first Happy Knits free pattern, designed by Sarah herself. Introducing the Rikke Hat:
This hat was designed for DK weight yarn, and both of the photographed samples were knit out of Madelinetosh’s new Tosh Merino DK. The hat takes only one skein, and is a great choice for both semi-solid and variegated colorways as the garter stitch design helps to prevent pooling. Note: Other popular yarn choices for this pattern are Tosh DK and Malabrigo Rios.
For those of you wondering, Rikke is a wonderful globe-trotting customer of ours who was the first one to test knit the silver sample for Sarah, and the hat is named in her honor.

Am knitting Rikke hat and wonder if there is a way to avoid the “seam” at the beginning of the round. Thanks!

Love this hat. It’s my birthday today and I got some yarn as a present so I’m looking for a hat pattern. I’m going to try this one I think.

I’m just starting this hat, love the look of it but when it comes to the crown you say K1, pm. What does pm mean??
I’m quite an experienced knitter but couldn’t figure that part out.
Thanks so much.
I look forward to your reply,
Toni

Toni-
Pm usually refers to “place marker” (just as sm refers to “slip marker”)
Hth!

My 17 year old DD requested I make this hat for her when she saw it on Ravelry ad I completed it a few weeks ago. The other day I went to an open house at her school and saw a friend of my DD wearing a stunning hat and I said I loved it. She laughed and said, “I wonder why?” It suddenly occurred to me that she was wearing the Rikke hat I had made for my DD! Darn that short-term memory. Oh, well, just proves what a great hat it is – LOL!
