Knitting Pattern: Interlocking Gears Hat

As you can see from my previous post, I have been on a hat making craze lately. This one I completed last night. The pattern looks to me like interlocking gears, hence the name I gave the hat. Here is the pattern, enjoy! 

Materials:

Size 3 US circular needles or DPNs

 

Super fine yarn. I used Loops and Threads Woolike, an 85% acrylic, %15 nylon yarn, 2 different colors (A and B), 1 ball of each. The colors I used are mauve (A) and rose (B). 

Needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

15 sts = 2" in pattern

Instructions:

CO 120 stitches with color A, place marker and join, careful not to twist stitches.

With A, K 2 rows

With A, work K3, P3 pattern for 2 1/2" 

Pattern rows:

**With A, K 5 rows

Add color B

Next row: *K2 with A, K2 with B, repeat from * to end of row

Repeat last row 1 time

With B, K 5 rows

Next row: *K2 with B, K2 with A, repeat from * to end of row

Repeat last row 1 time

Repeat all rows from ** 2 times

I've been focusing on knitting hats lately, because they are one of my favorite things to knit, and they are my number one seller, whether online or in person. As the weather gets colder, hats are an essential accessory to keep out the chill. Here are some of my latest hats:
