Atenea hat
Introducing the Atenea knitting project, a quick and stylish one-ball pattern that is perfect for knitters seeking a fun and engaging challenge. This project, while utilizing basic stitches, results in a captivating texture that will impress both you and those who see your finished piece.
Sizes:
This versatile pattern is available in two sizes: Adult Small/Medium and Large, designed to fit head circumferences of 21-22 inches (54–56 cm) and 23-24 inches (58.5-61 cm), respectively. The length from brim to top is approximately 9.25 inches (23 cm), making it the ideal accessory for warmth and style.
The Atenea hat is showcased in the size Small/Medium, crafted with Manos del Uruguay yarn in the beautiful color “Estancia.” If you choose to knit the Large size, you'll create a trendy slouchy look, as demonstrated in the blue version made with Malabrigo Worsted.
Materials:
Yarn: For this project, you can use either Malabrigo Worsted or Manos del Uruguay Gloria yarn. Both options are 100% superwash merino and fall under the Worsted weight category. Depending on the size you select, you'll need just 1 skein, with yardage of 170 yards for the Small/Medium and 200 yards for the Large size. You also have the flexibility to opt for an aran weight yarn if you prefer.
Needles and Other Notions: To bring your Atenea hat to life, you will require US 4 (3.5 mm) and US 7 (4.5 mm) circular needles, either 16-inch (40 cm) or 20-inch (50 cm), along with US 7 (4.5 mm) double-pointed needles for finishing touches. Additionally, don’t forget essential tools like a stitch marker, cable needle, and tapestry needle to assist in your knitting process.
Gauge:
To achieve the perfect fit, ensure your gauge is 18 stitches x 34 rounds = 4 inches x 4 inches (10 cm x 10 cm) in Garter stitch. This will help you create a beautifully textured hat that perfectly fits the intended size.
With its elegant design and comfort, the Atenea project is perfect for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a chic and cozy headpiece quickly. Dive into this enjoyable pattern today and elevate your knitting collection!
