Aspis Hat

Introducing a fun and stylish winter hat designed to keep you warm while showcasing your creative flair! This cozy accessory features a delightful geometric stranded colourwork motif, making it a perfect project for knitters looking to enhance their skills. Crafted in two beautiful contrasting colours, this hat allows for a striking visual impact, and you can even add an optional pom-pom for an extra touch of whimsy.

The hat is constructed with a tubular cast-on, providing a lovely stretchy edge that hugs your head comfortably, ensuring a snug fit during those chilly winter days. Whether you're hitting the slopes or just enjoying a stroll in the park, this hat will keep you cozy and fashionable.

To achieve the perfect fit and stunning design, make sure to pay attention to the gauge: 21 stitches and 24 rounds equal 10 cm / 4” in the colourwork pattern when worked in the round on 4.5 mm needles, after blocking. This gauge ensures that your finished hat will not only look great but also maintain its shape over time.
