Great test knit for Thea Coleman – the pattern is called Hot Toddy and I knit it in two evenings with less than one skein of Plucky Scholar in the Kelly Kelly Kelly color way.
I was pretty much on gauge with US 7s (US 6s for ribbed brim) and used 16″ circulars (and then dpns for the decreases). I went with the 20″ size (c/o 110 sts) but I think that either of the smaller sizes would have been fine too, with a little more of a snug fit.
I skipped the pom pom, because I’m just not a pom pom hat kind of a gal, but it would look really cute on this one, particularly in this vibrant shade of green. I love how the cables in this hat show off the tweedy texture of Scholar – it would be wonderful to knit these in a whole range of Plucky colors for everyone on my Christmas list!

Really cute and great color! I like seeing the top, I couldn’t tell what it looked like on all the others with the pompoms. I like it 🙂
