Enolic Hat & Cowl
Material: This delightful pattern features Brooklyn Tweed Tones Light, a premium fingering weight yarn (50g/225yds [206m]; 100% American Columbia Wool). For this project, you'll need 4 skeins in the beautiful Persimmon overtone color. The yarn's soft texture and vibrant color make it perfect for cozy accessories.
Sample Usage: The sample projects utilize approximately: Cowl: 130g / 585 yds [536m]; Hat: 51g / 230 yds [211m]. To keep yarn usage to less than one skein (50g), consider knitting the brim of the hat a bit shorter for a fun, customized fit.
Needles: For creating the cowl, use a US size 4 [3.5mm] 32" circular needle or a size that ensures you achieve the correct gauge. For the hat, you will need a US size 1 [2.25mm] 16" circular needle, along with US size 4 [3.5mm] 16" circular needle. Additionally, a US size 4 [3.5mm] 40" circular needle or double-pointed needles (DPNs) will be required for the crown decreasing. Selecting the right needles is essential for achieving the desired fit and finish!
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 23.5 stitches and 34 rows, which equals 4" [10 cm] in stockinette stitch with US size 4 [3.5 mm] needles, after blocking. Getting your gauge right will ensure your cowl and hat fit perfectly and look stunning.
Finished Measurements: Upon completion, the cowl measures L 28 ½" [72 cm] and W 13 ¾" [35 cm]; the hat measures L 11 ½" [29cm] with the brim unfolded and has a circumference of 17 ¾" [45cm]. These measurements will help you create cozy accessories that are perfect for chilly days.
Notions: Don’t forget to gather your essential notions, including stitch markers and a tapestry needle, to aid in your knitting process and to facilitate seamless finishing. Having the right tools on hand will make your knitting experience more enjoyable!
