Eskimo hat

This winter, I'm all set to embrace the cold with my handmade Eskimo Hat crafted from Garnstudio Drops Eskimo yarn. Featuring a delightful and easy stranded pattern, this hat is designed to keep you warm and stylish when the temperatures drop. Thanks to the bulkiness of the yarn, it’s a quick knit, and the addition of a playful pom-pom adds that extra element of fun!

The pattern is thoughtfully designed to cater to two sizes—adult and child—ensuring that everyone can enjoy this cozy accessory. It includes a detailed chart for the stranded pattern, making it straightforward for knitters of all skill levels. Plus, the hat has been expertly tech edited by Katherine Vaughan and thoroughly test-knitted for quality assurance.

MATERIALS REQUIRED • Two skeins of the main color and one skein of the contrast color in Garnstudio Drops Eskimo (50 grams/1.76 oz - 49 meters/54 yards). Pictured (blue hat): Color #37 (main color) and Color #005 (contrast color) in Garnstudio Drops Eskimo, complete with a large pom-pom for that stylish touch. • 6 mm/US10 double-pointed needles (DPNs) and a circular knitting needle (40 cm/15 inches) or any size that achieves the correct gauge. • A darning needle for finishing touches. • Stitch markers to keep your place as you knit.

GAUGE, MEASUREMENTS, AND YARDAGEGauge: 15 stitches and 17 rows over 10 cm/4 inches in the stranded pattern. Measurements: The finished size, from the cast-on edge (when stretched) to the top of the hat, is designed to provide a comfortable fit.

Prepare yourself for winter with this fun and functional knitting project! Not only will the Eskimo Hat keep you warm, but it also makes for a wonderful gift to share with family and friends. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern ensures you'll have a delightful and rewarding knitting experience!
