Delta Hat

Are you ready to create a stunning knitted accessory? The Delta Hat is deceptively straightforward to knit, making it the perfect project for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. Featuring simple decreases, the bold geometric design flows effortlessly into a beautifully patterned crown, adding flair to your winter wardrobe.

Size: This hat is designed to fit a head circumference of 52-57cm [20½-22½in]. The actual hat circumference measures 50cm [19¾in], with a length from crown to brim of 22cm [8¾in], ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.

Skills: To successfully knit the Delta Hat, you will need to handle basic skills such as casting on, knitting, purling, decreasing, and working in the round. Additionally, you'll be working with stranded colourwork and following a chart, making this pattern a fantastic opportunity to enhance your knitting skills.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 24 stitches and 26 rows to 10cm [4in] over stranded colourwork using larger needles. It's crucial to wash and block your piece to ensure accuracy before starting your project.

Yarn: For this beautiful Delta Hat, we recommend using The Island Wool Company Navia Duo 4ply yarn, which is composed of 80% Faroese wool and 20% English lambswool. With a yardage of 180m [195yds] per 50g ball, you will need the following colors: Yarn A: Medium Grey (N23) - 1 x 50g ball; Yarn B: Pastel Pink (N232) - 1 x 50g ball; Yarn C: Charcoal Grey (N24) – 1 x 50g ball. These yarn quantities will not only be sufficient for the hat but also for creating matching mitts, allowing for a coordinated look this winter.

Needles and Accessories: Always use the needle size that allows you to achieve the correct gauge for your project. While DPNs are a traditional choice, feel free to substitute them with your preferred method for knitting in the round, whether it's magic loop or circular needles. This flexibility ensures that you can knit comfortably and effectively, tailoring the project to your personal knitting style.
