Size: One size fits most with a head circumference of 54-56 cm (21-22 inches). The length from the brim to the top of the hat is approximately 23.5 cm (9.25 inches), ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit.
Yarn: Crafted from just 1 skein of Tweedy Noir by Hedgehog Fibers, this hat is made of a luxurious blend that includes 50% Falkland Merino, 37.5% Recycled Wool, and 12.5% HHF Thread Waste. The yarn is beautifully textured and consists of 230 meters (250 yards) per 100 grams, providing a rich, velvety feel in the colorway Noir that is both sophisticated and stylish.
Needles: For this project, you will need a 4.0 mm (US #6) circular needle, at least 40 cm (16 inches) long, and double-pointed needles (dpns) or the appropriate size to achieve the correct gauge. Additionally, you will require a 3.5 mm (US #4) circular needle (also 40 cm/16” long) or dpns, which should be two sizes smaller than your gauge needles.
Other Supplies: Don’t forget to gather a stitch marker to track your rounds and a tapestry needle for weaving in those ends. These tools are essential for achieving a polished finish for your slouchy hat.
Gauge: To ensure your Bulle Noir hat turns out just right, aim for a gauge of 23 stitches x 28 rounds over 10 cm (4 inches) in Reverse Stockinette stitch in the round using the 4.0 mm (US #6) needle. Take the time to check your gauge as this step can save you time and yarn in the long run. If necessary, adjust your needle size to obtain the correct gauge so your hat fits perfectly.
Now you're ready to dive into this fun knitting project! Perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills, the Bulle Noir hat pattern is a must-have for your collection. Embrace the joy of crafting with this unique design!
