Farwen

Introducing the Farwen Hat: a beautiful beaded, ribbed hat designed using the classic farrow rib pattern. This unique knitting pattern features fewer than 50 beads—just enough to create a striking visual effect without becoming overly complex. You have the flexibility to choose either a single type of bead for a timeless look or mix and match beads for a more eclectic style. The Farwen Hat is knit flat and seamed, simplifying the knitting process and maximizing the beautiful knit stitches over the purl stitches, ensuring an enjoyable crafting experience.

This versatile hat pattern is available in two different gauges of yarn — sport weight and worsted — accommodating various preferences and styles. Thanks to its stretchy design, the Farwen Hat fits most adult and teen heads comfortably, making it a great accessory for anyone looking to stay cozy and stylish.

Skills Needed to Successfully Complete This Pattern:
To create the Farwen Hat, you will need to master several knitting techniques, including stretchy cast on, knit, purl, beading with a crochet hook, k2tog and ssk decreases, sewing seams, and weaving in ends.

DIMENSIONS
The finished hat measures approximately 19 inches (48 cm) around and 9½ inches (24 cm) tall. It is designed to stretch to fit most adults and teenagers comfortably, making it a fantastic knitting project for gift-giving or personal use.
