Cuffed Bucket Hat

Introducing the ultimate Cuffed Bucket Hat, your go-to accessory for winter warmth and style! This hand-knit beauty provides exceptional protection for your ears against biting cold, making it a must-have in your winter wardrobe. Expertly crafted, the yarn felts into a thick, soft fabric that looks polished and luxurious—no one will ever guess it’s handmade!

This delightful pattern is designed using Patons worsted 100% wool non-superwash yarn, renowned for its felting properties. While Patons works beautifully, you'll be excited to know that Cascade 220 also felts exceptionally well, opening up more options for your project. The best part? Gauge is not crucial, allowing for easy adjustments based on your preferences during the captivating machine felting process. Keep felting until there’s no stitch definition visible, ensuring the hat fits snugly and comfortably, with a final measurement of 10-11 inches across. Feel free to make additional adjustments throughout the shaping process for that perfect fit!

This Cuffed Bucket Hat isn’t just a beautiful project; it's also fun and rewarding to make. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, you'll enjoy the creativity involved in crafting your very own winter accessory.

When it comes to **felting yarns**, Yarn Canada recommends some fantastic options, including Cascade 220 Solid yarn, Lopi Lettlopi yarn, and Patons Classic Wool Worsted. Each provides excellent results for your felting needs, ensuring your Cuffed Bucket Hat turns out perfectly every time!
