Introducing a quick-to-knit hat featuring a classic Fair Isle design, perfect for all your winter adventures! Made with super soft yarn in stunning colors, this hat has quickly become a winter staple and an ideal choice for Christmas gifts. The design is adaptable and fits comfortably on heads with a circumference ranging from 20 to 24 inches, ensuring a snug fit for everyone in the family. This hat is knitted in the round using the magic loop technique, making it easier than ever to create beautiful patterns without complicated seams.
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Rowan Felted Tweed, which provides both warmth and softness. You'll need the following meterage: Main Color (MC) in Seasalter - 105 meters, Contrast Color 1 (CC1) in Clay - 30 meters, and Contrast Color 2 (CC2) in Tawny - 10 meters. In total, you will require approximately 145 meters of yarn to complete this lovely hat.
In yards, your supply list includes: Main Color (MC) in Seasalter - 115 yards, Contrast Color 1 (CC1) in Clay - 35 yards, and Contrast Color 2 (CC2) in Tawny - 11 yards, totaling around 161 yards of yarn.
Gauge: Achieving the perfect fit is essential, so we recommend a gauge of 19 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches in stocking stitch, knitted with 4mm (US 6) needles, after blocking.
Needles: To craft this hat, you'll need one 4mm (US 6) circular needle that is 100cm (40") long for working the magic loop. Alternatively, you can use 4mm (US 6) double-pointed needles if you prefer that method.
Extras: Don't forget to gather your supplies! You’ll need one stitch marker to keep track of your rounds and an embroidery needle for weaving in those pesky ends neatly.
Dimensions: The finished hat measures 18 inches around and stretches comfortably to fit heads ranging from 20 to 24 inches. With its beautiful design and cozy fit, this hat makes for an excellent project for both novice and experienced knitters alike. Get started on this delightful winter accessory today and enjoy the satisfaction of creating your very own Fair Isle hat!
