Dr. Zhivago Hat

This delightful textured hat is knitted with unique loops that create a luxurious furry texture, ensuring you stay both warm and stylish during those chilly days. If you prefer a lighter option, simply knit it using cotton yarn for a breathable alternative!

This is a very quick knit, requiring only about a skein of bulky yarn. You can easily complete this hat in just one day, making it a perfect last-minute gift for a fashionable friend or a fashionable treat for yourself.

Sizes Available: S (child), M (woman), L (man or large-headed woman) with head circumferences of 50cm/20", 55cm/22", and 60cm/24". If you wish to create smaller or larger sizes, consider using thinner or thicker yarn along with corresponding needle sizes to achieve your desired fit.

Yarn Recommendations:
You will need 250 yards of Garnstudio Drops Brushed Alpaca (held double) or
250 yards of ColourMart Cashmere 2/7.5nm Fine DK, also held double. Alternative options include various lightweight bulky yarns, chainette yarns, air yarns, and mohairs or microfibers. Recommended brands are Garnstudio Drops Air and Lana Grossa Garzato. These bulky yarns will require only half the yardage of the thinner yarn, allowing you to explore different textures and styles.

Gauge Information:
Achieve a gauge of 10 stitches and 12 rows per 4 inches in the pattern stitch to ensure your hat fits perfectly.

Needle Supply:
For this pattern, you will need 6mm and 7mm, 32" circular needles. I personally prefer Addi Turbo needles for the smooth knitting experience they provide.
Don’t forget a 6mm crochet hook for any finishing touches!

Notions Needed:
One stitch marker will come in handy while you work on this charming hat.
