Deir Hart

What’s great for your heart on a chilly day? Knowing someone cares enough to knit you a cozy hat! Introducing Deir Hart (dear heart), a heavyweight, fuzzy, and soft hat that knits up quickly and comfortably. This charming hat pattern is perfect for those looking to create a heartfelt gift or a personal accessory to keep warm.

Deir Hart is available in three versatile sizes and stretches comfortably to fit everyone—from playful preschoolers to individuals wearing men’s XL. This fashionable knit is designed to be knitted in the round using size 11 (8mm) needles, achieving a gauge of 2.5 stitches per inch. To complete this project, you’ll need only 75–125 yards (69–115 meters) of super bulky yarn or any combination of various yarn weights held together to match the gauge.

Sample Used:

For Women's Medium/Men's Small Hat: This version utilizes a delightful blend of yarns knit together:

• 1 skein of Alafoss Léttlopi, which is 100% Icelandic wool, measuring 109 yards (100m) per 1.75 oz (50g) skein, featuring the beautiful color Violet Heather, #1414.
• 2 skeins of Estelle Yarns Alpaca 33, made from 100% Superfine Alpaca, with 36 yards (33m) per 3.5 oz (100g) skein, in color #406. Note: Estelle Yarns Alpaca 33 has been discontinued, but feel free to use an alternate super bulky alpaca yarn, such as Plymouth Yarns Baby Alpaca Grande, which could be an excellent substitute.

Notions Required:

• Stitch marker: Essential for tracking your rounds.
• Tape measure or ruler: To ensure the correct sizing.
• Tapestry needle with a large eye: For weaving in those pesky ends after your hat is complete.
