Techniques & Skills Used: This knitting pattern teaches essential skills such as tubular cast-on (CO), knit/purl techniques, decreasing, and working in the round, which are invaluable for knitters of all levels.
Size: Available in multiple sizes: Baby, Kid, Small, Medium, and Large, this pattern fits head circumferences approximately ranging from 16 to 24 inches. Each size of this stretchy ribbed hat accommodates a variety of head sizes, making it suitable for everyone in the family.
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK, a luxurious blend of 55% merino wool, 33% microfiber, and 12% cashmere. Each skein contains 120 yards (110 meters) of yarn. Depending on the size you're making, you'll need 1 to 2 skeins, equating to approximately 90 to 250 yards of DK wool or a high-quality wool blend yarn.
Other Materials: To create this stunning ribbed hat, you'll require a US size 4 (3.5mm) 16” circular needle and double-pointed needles (dpns), or a 32” circular needle if you prefer using the Magic Loop technique. Additionally, you'll need a US size 3 (3.25mm) 16” needle and some scrap yarn for the tubular cast-on. Don’t forget stitch markers (10) and a yarn needle for finishing touches!
Gauge: Achieve a perfect fit by adhering to the gauge of 30 stitches and 28 rows for every 4” in unstretched rib on the larger needle, after blocking. This attention to detail ensures your hat looks and fits perfectly.
