Facets Hat

Discover the elegant allure of textured diamonds with this unisex cap knitting pattern, beautifully crafted in rich, jewel-toned colors. This pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters and provides both written and charted instructions for easy following. The sample cap measures 18 inches around and 8 inches long, with the ability to stretch to an impressive 22 inches for a comfortable fit. If you're looking to create a slightly smaller hat, simply go down one needle size for perfect adjustments.

The skill level required for this hat is intermediate, and the pattern incorporates unique techniques such as Right Twist and Left Twist, with brief instructions conveniently included in the pattern. Notably, a cable needle is not required, making the process more accessible to knitters who prefer not to use additional tools.

This versatile pattern can also be easily converted into a stylish cowl. To create an 18-inch cowl, follow the pattern as written, but instead of transitioning to the crown decreases, simply work a k2, p2 rib for 1.25 inches and bind off. For those who desire a wider cowl, you can add chart repeats in increments of 16 stitches, keeping in mind that each 16-stitch repeat will add approximately 3 inches in width. For example, to make a 21-inch cowl, cast on 112 stitches to accommodate 7 chart repeats, then follow the pattern instructions while omitting the crown decreases.

The sample cap is knitted using Have You Any Wool Luxe Worsted yarn, renowned for its quality and warmth. If you’re looking for alternatives, a suggested yarn substitute is provided below to help you achieve the perfect look and feel for your project.
