Baptisia Hat
Yarn: For this stunning project, we recommend using Miss Babs Kunlun, a luxurious blend of 70% Merino Wool, 15% Cashmere, and 15% Cultivated Silk. Each skein contains 280 yards/4.4 oz (255 m/125 g). To complete the project, you'll need 1 (1) skein, shown in the beautiful colorway Social Butterfly. Alternatively, you can use approximately 170 (180) yards/156 (165) meters of DK weight yarn, giving you flexibility in your yarn selection.
Sizes: This delightful pattern is available in Sizes 1 (2), allowing for a personalized fit that can suit different head sizes or styles.
Finished Measurements: The finished brim circumference of the hat measures 16¾ (18)”/42 (45) cm, with a height of 7½”/19 cm. This hat is both fashionable and functional—perfect for keeping warm in style!
For your reference, the sample is shown in Size 2.
Needles: To create your hat, you will need a US 5 (3.75 mm) circular needle, 16”/40 cm long, or one size smaller than the needle used to obtain gauge. An additional needle of the same size and length is optional for versatility. You will also require a US 6 (4.0 mm) circular needle, 16”/40 cm long, or a size that helps you achieve the required gauge. Finally, have a set of US 6 (4.0 mm) double-pointed needles or your preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round, ensuring you have everything you need for a seamless knitting experience.
Gauge: It's essential to obtain the correct gauge for a well-fitting hat. The blocked gauge is 28 stitches and 34 rounds = 4”/10 cm square in the hat body pattern on the larger needle. Be sure to check your gauge before starting to achieve the best results!
