Avari
Introducing the Avari Hat - a stylish and cozy knit that's perfect for winter! Featuring a double brim, voluminous double-knotted cables, and a fluffy pompom, this hat is not only a fashion statement but also your ultimate companion against the cold winter chill and biting winds. Whether you're heading out for a snowy adventure or just need something warm for your daily routine, the Avari Hat is a must-knit project for this season.
One Size Fits All: This versatile hat is designed to fit a head circumference of 52-56 cm (21-22 inches). When the brim is folded in half, the length is approximately 24 cm (9.5 inches), making it a comfortable fit for a variety of head sizes.
Yarn Choice: To create your own Avari Hat, you'll need 2 skeins of Quince & Co. Owl yarn, which combines 50% American Wool and 50% New Zealand Alpaca for an incredibly warm and luxurious feel (120 yards/110m per 50g). The sample hat showcases the beautiful shade 303 Elf.
Needles Required: For knitting the Avari Hat, you’ll need 4 mm (US #6) needles or a size that achieves the correct gauge. You can use double-pointed needles (dpns) or a 40 cm (16”) circular needle for small circumferences, plus a set of 3.5 mm (US #4) needles, which should be 2 sizes smaller than your gauge needles.
Additional Tools: Don’t forget to gather your necessary tools, including a cable needle, a stitch marker for tracking your rounds, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.
Gauge Information: Achieving the correct gauge is vital for the perfect fit! Aim for a gauge of 21 stitches x 28 rounds over a 10 cm (4”) square in Stockinette Stitch, worked in the round using 4 mm (US #6) needles. Remember, “take time to save time” – always check your gauge before starting your project.
The Avari Hat pattern is not only an ideal choice for intermediate knitters looking to challenge themselves with beautiful cables, but it's also a delightful gift for anyone wanting to stay stylish and warm this winter.
