Nordic Mart does the Wurm

We saw this hat on the home page of Ravelry a few weeks ago and immediately knew we had to make it with some of our yarns. We were very inspired in our color choice by the changing leaves.

 

The original pattern is called Wurm by Katharina Nopp, but our version is actually a variation on a variation of the Wurm.

Zanetta's version of the Wurm, which is the pattern we followed and adjusted for our pattern, uses Noro and Rowan yarns and has a bit of a looser and slouchier feel than the original Wurm.

Our version uses the super fun color variegation of Drops Delight and the softness of Drops Alpaca. Don't forget Alpaca is on sale until the end of the year!

We love the way the Delight stripes into different colors, and the fit of this hat is the PERFECT slouchi-ness. 

Here's the pattern we wrote out while experimenting with these two awesome hat patterns to make our own:

Instructions:
Supplies:
US Size 2.5 (3 mm ) circular needle (wood needles) (metal needles)

US Size 2.5 DPN (for very end of hat) (wood) (metal)

1 skein Drops Delight

1 skein Drops Alpaca

 

Cast on 120 sts with Alpaca

**Starting with a purl round, alternate 1 round purl with 1 round knit for 7 rounds.
Knit 5 rounds with Delight
Garter rounds (1 round purl/ 1 round knit) for 7 rounds in Alpaca

Knit 5 rounds Delight**

Repeat **-** three more times

Next round in Alpaca: *Knit 4, K2tog* repeat *-* until end of round
Garter rounds (1 round purl/1 round knit) for 6 more rounds in Alpaca

Next Round in Delight: *Knit 4, K2tog* repeat *-* until end of round 

Knit 4 rounds in Delight

Next round in Alpaca: *Knit 4, K2tog* repeat *-* until end of round 

Garter Rounds for 6 rounds in Alpaca

Knit 5 rounds in Delight

Next round in Alpaca: *Knit 4, K2tog* repeat *-* until end of round 

Garter rounds for 6 rounds in Alpaca

(change to double points when stitches no longer fit on circular needle)

Next Round in Delight: *Knit 4, K2tog* repeat *-* until end of round
Knit 4 rounds in Delight

Next Round in Delight *Knit 1, K2tog* repeat *-* until end of round
Last Round in Delight *k2tog* all the way around, until end of round

Close hole by pulling yarn through all stitches and securing.  

If you do not block this hat it will appear more "ribbed" and wavy. 

We like a flatter look so decided to dunk the hat in our sink and then laid it flat to dry.
