Fair And Square Hat

Discover the joy of knitting with our unique self-striping yarn hat pattern, designed to create a stunning patchwork effect that is both fun and easy to achieve. This versatile hat is available in three sizes, catering to different head circumferences: approximately 48-51 cm or 19-20" for CHILD, 52-56 cm or 20.5-22" for WOMEN'S, and 57-60 cm or 22.5-23.625" for MEN'S. The hat is crafted from the bottom up, allowing you to use either flat knitting or partially in the round for the ribbing and crown sections—it's entirely up to your personal preference. Detailed instructions for both methods are included to guide you seamlessly through the process. For this project, you will need up to 100 g of DK (8 ply) self-striping yarn, which provides a beautiful and colorful finish. We recommend the King Cole Riot DK as an excellent yarn choice for this pattern, ensuring a vibrant and eye-catching result. To get started, gather your knitting needles: size 3 mm (US 3) and size 4 mm (US 6). We suggest using a 40 cm (16") circular needle in both sizes for an enjoyable knitting experience. Additionally, having two double-pointed needles (DPNs) in the larger size will help you with the crown section. Embrace your creativity and add this playful hat pattern to your knitting repertoire today! Perfect for gifting or adding a stylish touch to your winter wardrobe, it’s an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels.
