Alfred hat with ribbed edge
Introducing the Alfred hat, a delightful winter accessory featuring a stylish ribbed edge. This warm and cozy knit hat is crafted in the same beautiful pattern as the popular Nordavind mittens. The yarn used to create the stunning hat in the image is Sandnes Smart, known for its durability and comfort. Alternatively, you can use other high-quality wool yarn of the same weight, such as Cascade 200, to achieve a similar look and feel.
Feel free to explore your creativity by choosing from the suggested yarns and colors, or mix and match your favorite DK yarns to craft a one-of-a-kind color combination that reflects your personal style. The flexibility in yarn choice allows for endless possibilities!
It's important to ensure the best fit for your knitting project. The suggested needle sizes provided in the pattern are merely guidelines. Be sure to control your gauge by knitting a test swatch. If you discover that your test swatch has fewer stitches per 10 cm than the stated gauge, consider reducing your needle size. Conversely, if your test swatch has more stitches, it’s best to increase your needle size for optimal results.
This versatile hat pattern comes in one size, designed to fit a head circumference of approximately 58-60 cm. However, you can easily modify the size by selecting a different needle size. If you prefer a longer or shorter hat, you can opt to knit the ribbing either longer or shorter. The main body of the hat can also be adjusted in length, allowing you to customize the fit to suit most sizes and personal preferences.
When completed, the Alfred hat measures approximately 23 cm from top to bottom (with the rib double folded) and 25 cm across when laid flat. This makes it an ideal addition to your winter wardrobe, providing warmth and style all season long. Dive into your knitting adventure today and create your very own Alfred hat!
