Extreme hat
Introducing the ultimate knitting experience with our Extreme Hat Pattern: it’s extremely quick to knit, extremely easy to follow, and extremely warm for those chilly days! This delightful pattern is fully written out and includes detailed charts, making it accessible to knitters of all skill levels. The hat is designed to be knit in the round from the bottom up, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish.
Sizes and Fit:
When selecting your size, choose one that is approximately 7-10 cm (3 ½ - 4 in) smaller than your actual head circumference for a snug fit, or opt for 3-5 cm (1 ¼ - 2 in) smaller for a more relaxed, slouchy style. The available sizes for this finished hat are:
— Age 4 to Adult S: 43 cm (16 ¾ in) circumference and 28.5 cm (11 ¼ in) tall
— Adult M/L: 51 cm (20 ¼ in) circumference and 29.5 cm (11 ¾ in) tall
Needles Required: To create your Extreme Hat, you will need circular needles in the range of 10-12 mm (US 15-16) or the correct needle size to achieve the desired gauge. Additionally, a needle 0.5-1 mm (1-2 US sizes) smaller is recommended for the beginning of the hat. If you prefer, you can also use double-pointed needles (DPNs). While the pattern assumes the magic loop technique, feel free to substitute your preferred method for small circumference knitting, especially during the crown decreasing.
Gauge: Achieve a perfect fit by maintaining a gauge of 7 stitches and 10 rows over a 10 cm (4 in) square when working in the pattern stitch.
Skills Assumed: This pattern assumes basic knitting skills including knit and purl stitches, as well as decreasing techniques. Perfect for those looking to build on their skills!
Notions Needed: Don’t forget to gather your essential knitting notions, including stitch markers and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.
With the Extreme Hat Pattern, you’ll create a stylish and cozy accessory perfect for any cold weather outing. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a gift, this pattern will provide you with an enjoyable and rewarding knitting experience. So grab your yarn and needles, and let’s get started on this charming hat project!
