Red Planet Hat (F209)
Marla and Sami Collection
Marla is made from 2 strands of lighter-weight yarn that have been dyed separately and then plied together. When worked, Marla creates a marled fabric, where the colors are uniquely distributed. Sami, the semi-solid DK-weight sister to Marla, has a palette of 11 coordinating colors!

Double knitting: it's twice as warm because it's two hats in one! One one side, Sami dominates; on the other side, Marla. The checkerboard pattern is made easy with the use of plenty of ring markers and ends before the crown shaping. If double knitting is a new technique for you, don't worry: as long as you've made a hat before, this is a good first project.
Waste yarn and/or crochet hook for provisional cast-on
Cable needle or spare double-pointed needle 19 (21) ring markers, plus one unique ring marker

LOVE this pattern! Have already made 2 and thinking about trying it as the start of a top down pullover. An idea for a new pattern!
Haven't started knitting yet but I love the pattern, very clear to follow
I decided to go with Wisp of Warmth over other patterns because I liked the edges and the fact that I could make it as wide or long as I wanted. The instructions are clear even for a novice. The wyif got me at first, but when I took it row by row, all became apparent with the result of a lovely edge. I used a fine wool yarn & it is very warm even though it is narrow and a single time around my neck. Highly recommend it. Great use of stash. Thanks for free pattern.
I love the final result with this pattern... a warm and attractive poncho-like effect.i used a changing color wool so it has a lovely three color play between the colors. The knitting isn't was not terribly interesting or difficult so that wirings for beginners.
