Auroral Hat
If you're on the lookout for the ultimate knitting project, look no further! This cozy, warm, and stylish hat is designed to cover your ears, providing that extra warmth during chilly days. With its long design and stretchy fabric, it’s perfect for a wide range of head sizes, making it flattering for just about everyone. Plus, the easily memorized cable pattern adds an element of fun to your knitting experience! This pattern is thoughtfully presented in both fully written and charted formats, catering to various knitting preferences.
For those who fall between sizes, it's recommended to choose the smaller size because of the remarkable stretchiness of the stitch pattern, which ensures a snug fit without being too tight.
**SIZES:** Extra Small/Small (XS/S) and Medium/Large (M/L). The displayed sample is in the Medium/Large size, showcasing its versatility and classic style. The XS/S size is designed to fit heads ranging from 18-21 inches [45.5-53.5 cm], while the M/L size accommodates heads from 21-24 inches [53.5-61 cm]. So, whether you’re making this for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, you’re sure to find the perfect fit!
**GAUGE:** Achieve the best results with a gauge of 20 stitches and 23 rows, which equals 4 inches [10 cm] in the Cross Pattern when slightly stretched. A consistent gauge will ensure that your hat turns out just right, both in size and appearance.
**PATTERN NOTE:** The Medium/Large sample used a full skein of the recommended Malabrigo Mecha yarn, leaving only a few grams leftover. If you’re concerned about potential shortages or if you're considering extending the hat's length for a more personalized touch, it’s wise to purchase an additional skein for peace of mind. Using two skeins, you can create not only this fabulous hat but also a matching pair of Auroral Mittens, adding a coordinated touch to your winter wardrobe.
