Classy Chic Hat

Introducing a stylish and versatile unisex hat that’s perfect for both kids and adults! This elegant design features a classic 1x1 ribbing pattern, seamlessly knitted in the round for a polished finish. The hat is easy to style and can be sported with either a chic folded brim or a trendy pointed crown, making it suitable for any occasion.

This knitting pattern is designed to accommodate a range of head sizes, with one size for kids fitting head circumferences of 48-52 cm (19-20 in) and another for adults fitting 54-58 cm (21-23 in). The hat boasts a finished length of approximately 29 cm (11.5 in), which includes a 5 cm (2 in) folding brim that adds to its fashionable appeal.

For this project, you'll need approximately 60 grams (Kids size) or 80 grams (Adult size) of Drops Nepal yarn, which is a delightful blend of 65% wool and 35% alpaca, providing warmth and softness. With 75 meters per 50 grams, this yarn is perfect for achieving the desired gauge for both sizes. You can also use any similar yarn that meets the same gauge requirements.

In terms of tools, you'll need 5.0 mm (US 8) circular needles or 20 cm (8 in) long double-pointed needles (DPNs). A 4 mm (G-6) crochet hook or a slightly larger or smaller hook can be beneficial for casting on and finishing touches. Don’t forget to have a tapestry needle on hand for weaving in ends, as well as one stitch marker for added convenience during your knitting process.

The gauge for this pattern is 22 stitches and 20 rows over 10 cm (4 in) with the 1x1 ribbing stitch after blocking on 5.0 mm (US 8) needles. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for ensuring the perfect fit of your cozy new hat.

Whether you're crafting for yourself or making a thoughtful gift, this delightful and trendy unisex hat knitting pattern is sure to be a hit! Explore your creativity and enjoy the satisfying process of knitting this timeless accessory that can be worn by anyone, anytime.
