Candy Wrapper Hat

This easy-to-knit, unique top-down hat pattern utilizes just one 120-yard skein of soft, worsted weight yarn. Designed as part of a creative challenge to showcase the touchably soft new Silk & Merino yarn from my local yarn shop (LYS), this hat is perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters looking for a quick and satisfying project. Featuring a stunning spiral design at the crown and delightful double cable twists that resemble candy wrappers, this hat is not only functional but also stylish, making it a great accessory for any wardrobe.

The hat is knitted seamlessly in the round from the top down using Emily Ocker's circular cast-on technique, which is a fantastic skill to learn and adds a professional finish to your work. This knitting pattern is designed to fit women’s sizes small/medium and large, making it a versatile gift for friends and family. Whether you're preparing for chilly weather or simply want to create a beautiful piece for yourself, this hat pattern is the perfect choice for your next knitting project. Additionally, with its luxurious blend of silk and merino wool, you'll enjoy not only the journey of crafting it but also the soft, warm comfort it provides when worn.
