Duilleog Hat

This delightful beanie-style hat features an intricate leaf motif, aptly named 'Duilleog,' the Irish term for 'leaf.' Designed to be knit in the round from the bottom up, this cozy hat begins with a stylish garter stitch brim, which seamlessly continues over one segment adorned with a captivating leaf motif. The remaining portion of the hat is worked in smooth stocking stitch, creating a beautiful contrast and texture.

The leaf motif is thoughtfully charted for ease of use, and for those who prefer traditional guidance, detailed written instructions are also provided as an alternative. To accommodate varying head sizes, a unique chart is included for each size option. When preparing to knit your 'Duilleog' beanie, you only need to print pages 1 and 2, along with the relevant chart and/or written instructions corresponding to the size you wish to create.

Available sizes include Child (Adult Small, Adult Large), designed to fit head sizes of 50 (55, 60) cm (19.75 (21.75, 23.5) inches). The finished circumference, accommodating negative ease for a snug fit, measures 47.5 (52.5, 57.5) cm (19 (21, 23) inches. The Adult Small is tailored for an average-sized woman's head; however, teens or children with larger cranial dimensions may opt for the Adult Small size for a more comfortable fit.

For this charming leaf beanie, we recommend using worsted weight yarn, with wool being the fiber of choice for optimal warmth and durability. Gather your materials and get ready to enjoy a relaxing knitting experience while crafting a hat that showcases your skills and keeps you stylishly warm. Perfect for gifting or personal use, this beautiful 'Duilleog' beanie will surely become a cherished accessory in your winter wardrobe!
