Aspen

Whether you’d rather hit the slopes or cozy up inside enjoying a steaming mug of hot chocolate while the snow gently falls, the Aspen knitting pattern will keep you warm in style. This beautifully designed pattern features alternating cable braids and seed stitch panels, making it both fashionable and practical. Aspen is not just an enjoyable knit project; it’s also a wonderful opportunity to practice your cabling techniques while creating an eminently wearable accessory that’ll have everyone asking, “Where did you get that?”

Yarn: For this chic and cozy Aspen pattern, we recommend using Malabrigo Rios, which is a luxurious superwash wool that offers 210 yards per 3.5 ounces. Opt for Color: 855 Aguas Feather, and you’ll need only 1 skein to complete your project.

Needles: To get started on your Aspen knit, you will require US size 6 (4mm) 16” circular needles. Additionally, a set of US size 6 (4mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs) will be essential for working the crown of your hat effectively.

Notions: Don’t forget your sewing essentials! You’ll need one stitch marker to clearly mark the beginning of your row. If you wish to demarcate between the motifs for better organization, be sure to have an additional 4 stitch markers on hand.

Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is key to your success with knitting Aspen. One pattern repeat of this design measures approximately 3 inches wide by 1 inch tall, ensuring the right fit for your finished piece.

Finished Measurements: The completed Aspen knit will measure 10.5 inches from brim to crown, making it the perfect accessory to keep you warm during chilly winter days.

Get ready to showcase your knitting skills and enjoy the process of creating this stunning piece. Whether you wear it yourself or gift it to a loved one, the Aspen knitting pattern is sure to be a favorite addition to your winter wardrobe!
