Daba

Discover the Daba 2-in-1 Knitting Pattern! This versatile pattern provides clear instructions to create not just an eye-catching hat, but also a matching pair of stylish fingerless mittens. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this project is perfect for experimenting with various yarn colors and textures, allowing you to express your personal style.

The Daba pattern is designed for one size that typically fits a head circumference of 56-58cm/22-23 inches, making it a great gift option for friends and family. The hat measures approximately 28cm/11 inches from the cast-on edge to the top point for a cozy fit, while the fingerless mittens are designed to have a circumference of about 18.5cm/7½ inches and a length of approximately 18.5cm/7¼ inches, offering both warmth and functionality.

For this project, you will need sport weight yarn in two complementary colors: Color A (the main shade) requires around 240m/260yd, while Color B needs about 156m/170yd. For inspiration, our sample was crafted using Alize Cashmira in color 58 for Color A and Zitron Trekking 6 fach in color 1837 for Color B, resulting in a stunning finish.

To achieve the best results, we recommend using circular needles in sizes US #3/3.25mm for finer detail and US #4/3.50 mm for bulkier sections. Be sure to check your gauge, which should be 26 stitches x 30 rows over a 10 cm/4” square in stockinette stitch, using the larger needles.

Don’t forget to gather other essential tools such as 6 stitch markers, a crochet hook or tapestry needle, and a stitch holder to keep your work neat and organized while you knit.

With the Daba 2-in-1 Knitting Pattern, you can create a beautiful matching hat and fingerless mittens set that’s perfect for the chilly seasons ahead. Embrace your creativity and enjoy the satisfaction that comes from making your own accessories!
