Say hello to Made & Worn! Custom, easy to follow knitting patterns that fit to your individual measurements, gauge and personal style!

Launching 16th March 2018, Made & Worn offers every knitter the opportunity to create their ultimate project from a selection of garment shapes and stitch patterns. Each pattern is generated from the knitter’s personal gauge and body measurements, to ensure a great fit! Made & Worn saves your progress as you go, so you can pick up right where you left off without worry!

Inspired by Ada Lovelace, an English mathematician and writer; Ada was the first computer programmer and publisher of the first algorithm. We couldn’t think of anyone better to pay homage to!

Written for DK weight yarn, Ada offers a selection of textures and two different rib options. The decreases form a spiral at the crown. The Ada hat is worked flat and seamed. Worked with a longer brim to be worn folded back with a closely-fitted crown, Ada is sure to keep you snug on cold winter nights. Work in mohair and adorn with a fluffy pom pom or pick a bouncier yarn to show off your stitches, the choice is yours!

Finished hat includes 3-5cm negative ease
Rib Height: approx: 8cm

Materials: approx 160 m / 175 yds DK weight yarn (or 200m if you want a pompom)

Please note: a gauge swatch is required so please allow extra yarn for your swatch.

Notions: Stitch markers for marking decreases (optional), tapestry needle.
