Counterpose Hat
Introducing the Counterpose accessory set—an exquisite combination of knitted accessories that showcase playful positive and negative colorwork. This stylish ensemble includes a cozy hat, a matching cowl, and trendy fingerless gloves, all designed to be versatile and fashionable. For the hat, you’ll primarily use the darker of the two colorways, but feel free to get creative and personalize it with any colors you prefer! This entire accessory set requires just two full skeins of Dragonfly Fibers Valkyrie yarn, making it a great project for knitters looking to enhance their collection.
**Finished Size:** The hat has a circumference of 18” around unstretched and can stretch up to 23”, standing 8.75” tall. You'll love how it fits and feels! Yarn: This project uses Dragonfly Fibers Valkyrie, a luxurious 100% Superwash Merino yarn that provides warmth and softness, with each skein containing 200 yards/4 oz. The sample hat was beautifully crafted using the colors Julia’s Tresses (Color A) and Birch (Color B), totaling 116 yards. This yarn not only looks stunning but is also perfect for a range of accessories that can easily transition between seasons.
Needles: To create the Counterpose accessory set, you'll need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or a 16” circular needle in size 7 US (4.50 mm), or any size necessary to achieve your preferred gauge. Make sure to choose your needle size with care to ensure your finished pieces turn out just right!
Gauge: The recommended gauge for this pattern is 16 stitches and 24 rows per 4” in blocked stockinette when knitted in the round. Proper gauge is essential for achieving the perfect fit and look for your new knitted accessories, so take your time to check your tension before diving in.
Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, the Counterpose accessory set combines style, comfort, and creativity. Dive into this fun project and enjoy knitting a set of stunning accessories that will surely make a statement!
