CICLÓ hat

Discover the vibrant essence of Barcelona with our snug hat knitting pattern, characterized by innovative architecture and unusual forms that echo the city's unique charm. This stylish hat is designed to be knit in the round from the bottom up, utilizing the stranded knitting technique to create a striking visual contrast. When working on this pattern, keep in mind that many knitters may find they need to adjust needle sizes between the stranded colorwork and the solid stockinette stitch sections, as some knitters tend to knit more tightly during colorwork.

For this project, we recommend using Primo Fingering yarn, which is a lightweight option that beautifully showcases the intricate design. If you're looking to customize the size of the hat, consider increasing the yarn weight with Traveler Sport yarn for a cozier, larger fit. It's versatile and will help you achieve the perfect snug look while adding a personal touch to your creation!

Below are the approximate yarn amounts needed to complete this pattern: Main Color (MC) - Wrought Iron, 137 yards (125.5 meters); Contrast Color 1 (CC1) - Wintry Mix, 50 yards (46 meters); Contrast Color 2 (CC2) - Chlorophyl, 30 yards (27.5 meters). Get ready to unleash your creativity and bring a piece of Barcelona's artistic spirit into your knitting projects with this delightful hat pattern!
