Bathurst

Introducing the Bathurst hat, an effortlessly stylish and soft accessory designed for those who love unique textures and cozy warmth. This slightly slouchy knit hat features an intriguing stitch pattern created through yarn over increases, forming right-angled triangles that are artfully pleated. This innovative technique results in a cushy and airy double-layered fabric that not only looks fantastic but feels great against your skin. The crown of the hat is crafted using simple stockinette stitch, culminating in a quickly gathered finish that shapes the hat perfectly.

To create the Bathurst hat, the main body is worked flat, incorporating ribbed edges and buttonholes for added flair and functionality. Once the body is complete, it’s seamlessly joined in the round to finish the crown, making it a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels. The Bathurst hat is both fashionable and practical, perfect for chilly days or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one.

Finished Circumference: 18 (19, 20.25, 21.25)” / 45.5 (48.5, 51.5, 54) cm. The pattern is showcased in size L, fitting a head circumference of 23” / 58 cm. This hat is knit using aran or heavy worsted weight yarn, specifically highlighted in the luxurious Bijou Spun by Bijou Basin Ranch Bijou Bliss (50% Yak Down, 50% Cormo Wool; 150 yds / 137m per 2 oz / 56g skein), displayed in a stunning Teal colorway.
