Elliot Hat

Introducing our vibrant and stylish stranded hat, the ultimate accessory for your favorite outdoor kids! Designed with bright colors and a bold geometric pattern, this hat is a delightful project I created exclusively for my nephew Elliot, who has been showing off his winter style while wearing it all season long.

This charming hat is expertly knitted in the round from the brim to the crown, featuring a captivating stranded pattern crafted from two contrasting colors. Perfectly suited for babies, toddlers, and children, this hat is available in three sizes to ensure a comfortable fit for all ages.

YARN

For this project, you will need Milla Mia Naturally Soft Merino yarn, a premium sport weight yarn made from 100% Merino Wool. The yarn comes in a generous 137 yards (125 m) per 50 grams skein. You will require one skein each of Butterscotch (main color - MC) and Snow (contrast color - CC) to complete this vibrant hat.
