Double Seed Stitch Trellis Hat
Introducing the Double Seed Stitch Trellis Hat, a beautifully designed knitting pattern perfect for transitioning from fall to winter. This stylish hat is worked in the round from the bottom up, beginning with a Rib Pattern that seamlessly flows into a classic Trellis Motif Pattern, which is beautifully complemented by a Double Seed Stitch texture. The design continues to alternate between trellis motifs that are filled in with Reverse Stockinette stitch, adding depth and visual interest. This unique pattern not only showcases your knitting skills but also keeps you warm during chilly seasons.
The hat is designed with two sizes to ensure a perfect fit: finished circumferences of 16.75 (19.25)” [42 (48) cm], and lengths of 8 (9.25)” [20 (23) cm]. Depending on your size choice, you'll use the stretchy Bulgarian Cast-On for the larger size and the Long-Tail Cast-On for the smaller, allowing for a snug and comfortable fit.
For this project, you'll need Hudson + West Co. Forge yarn, which is a blend of 70% U.S. Merino and 30% U.S. Corriedale, offering both warmth and durability. This worsted weight yarn comes with 235 yards [215 m] per 3.5 oz. [100 g] skein. You'll require 1 skein in Mustard and 1 skein in Gold Leaf to complete this chic hat.
To knit the Double Seed Stitch Trellis Hat, you will need a few essential tools: one 16” (40 cm) circular needle in US size 5 (3.75 mm) and one in US size 7 (4.5 mm), along with a set of US size 7 (4.5 mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs). Please adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge of 20 stitches and 27 rows, which equals 4” (10 cm) on US 7 (4.5 mm) needles.
Don’t forget the additional notions needed for this project: a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends. This knitting pattern not only promises a warm and fashionable accessory but also a rewarding crafting experience.
