Get ready to knit a cozy, autumn-inspired hat with our delightful pattern featuring two colors of worsted weight yarn and a charming autumn leaf motif! This toasty hat design is perfect for those chilly days, and if you want to add a fun touch, you can top it off with an adorable pompom!

This hat is designed to fit the average adult with a comfortable circumference of 50 cm (19.5 inches) and a length of 23 cm (9 inches). Its versatile size makes it a great gift or a wonderful addition to your own wardrobe.

For materials, you'll need approximately 100 - 130 meters (120 - 140 yards) of worsted weight yarn in the main color (MC) and about 55 - 65 meters (60 - 70 yards) in the contrasting color (CC). Choose colors that reflect the rich palette of autumn leaves to enhance the overall look!

Before you start knitting, make sure to check your gauge: aim for 22 stitches and 22 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in the stranded pattern using a needle size of US 7 (4.5 mm) after washing and lightly blocking your work. Achieving the correct gauge is essential to ensure that your hat fits perfectly!

For this project, you will need size 3.5 mm (US 4) and size 4.5 mm (US 7) double-pointed needles, or you can opt for a 40 cm circular needle if that’s your preferred method for working in the round. This flexible design allows you to easily follow along, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned knitter.
