Coeden Hat and Cowl Set

Introducing the Coeden hat, a cozy, snug-fitting beanie designed to keep your ears warm while ensuring it doesn’t come down too low on your forehead. This stylish hat is perfect for chilly days and complements any winter wardrobe. The pattern also includes comprehensive instructions for creating a matching cowl, making it ideal for those looking to complete a set.

The Coeden hat pattern is thoughtfully crafted in just one size, designed to fit heads up to 57cm (22.5 inches). However, for those who need a larger fit (up to 62cm or 24.5 inches), I've included detailed instructions on how to modify the pattern using aran weight yarn instead of DK. Additionally, you’ll find essential modifications for the cowl to ensure it matches perfectly when knitted in aran weight as well.

For those focused on achieving the right fit, the gauge for DK yarn is 20 stitches x 32 rows per 10cm, while the gauge for aran weight yarn is slightly different, at 16 stitches x 26 rows per 10cm. This helps ensure your knitwear has the desired snugness and appearance.

I knitted the sample hat using handspun yarn, but you can truly unleash your creativity by using any DK yarn (or aran for the larger size) that inspires you. The Coeden hat requires approximately 107 meters (117 yards) of yarn in DK weight, while the accompanying cowl uses around 180 meters (197 yards). If you choose to work with aran weight yarn, the hat will need about 124 meters (136 yards) and the cowl will require approximately 200 meters (219 yards).

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, the Coeden hat and cowl set is a wonderful project that will keep you warm and stylish during the colder months. Download the Coeden pattern today and start your knitting journey towards creating your own beautiful hat and cowl set!
