Available in multiple sizes, the Amelia hat has a circumference of 14¼ (17¾, 20½, 22¼)" and a height of 4¾ (6½, 8, 9)" for the perfect fit. The example hat shown measures 20½" x 8", showcasing its snug yet comfortable design.
Yarn
For this charming project, we recommend using Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage (100% merino; 200 yd / 100 g) in the beautiful Astrid Grey colorway. You will need just 1 skein, which will provide approximately 115 (145, 165, 180) yards of yarn, although exact yardage may vary based on individual knitting tension and style.
Needles
To create the Amelia hat, you'll need size 8 (5.0 mm) 16" circular needles (cir) and a set of double-pointed needles (dpns). Be sure to check your gauge, as adjusting needle size may be necessary to achieve the correct stitch count and fabric density.
Notions
Gather the necessary knitting notions, including stitch markers (m), stitch holders or waste yarn, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.
Gauge
The gauge for this pattern is 18 stitches and 26 rows = 4" in Stockinette Stitch. To save time and ensure the proper fit, it’s essential to take a moment to check your gauge before starting. This will guarantee that your finished project matches the intended dimensions.
