Emmi

Emmi is a stylish and casual hat designed to be knitted in the round, starting from the folded brim all the way to the top. This pattern features a delightful broken rib stitch throughout the entire body of the hat, with cleverly integrated decreases that make them as discreet as possible. To add a fun finishing touch, you can create an optional pompom to use up any leftover yarn from your skein. Notably, both the right side (RS) and the wrong side (WS) of the hat are equally stunning, allowing you to showcase your craftsmanship. By weaving in the ends with care and perhaps opting for a detachable pompom, you’ll have the flexibility to wear this hat with the WS out for an entirely different look!

**Yarn Requirements:** You will need approximately 206 yards (188 meters) of worsted weight yarn—perfect for this versatile accessory. Please note: Yardage specified includes the optional pompom.

**Gauge:** To ensure your hat fits perfectly, aim for a gauge of 21 stitches and 32 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) square, using the larger needle after blocking.

**Finished Measurements:** The finished hat boasts a circumference of 18 inches (46 cm) when unstretched, and a height (excluding the pompom) of 9 inches (23 cm).

The beautiful blue version featured in the photos is crafted from Malabrigo Rios yarn, but feel free to substitute this pattern with any other worsted weight yarn that inspires your creativity. With its unique design and seamless construction, the Emmi hat is a perfect knitting project for both beginners and seasoned knitters looking to enhance their accessory collection.
