Felt Hat Flat Brim
Explore our stylish hat knitting pattern that guides you through creating both a flat brim hat and an extra wide flat brim hat, perfect for adding a chic touch to your wardrobe. After felting, the wide brim hat measures approximately 3.5 inches, while the regular brim hat measures about 2.75 inches. This versatile pattern not only teaches you the essentials of knitting and felting, but also includes expert tips on how to felt hats effectively, recommendations for the best yarn types, and detailed measurements for crafting a unique twisted cord to embellish your creations.
With this pattern, you can unleash your creativity by combining various color yarns or pairing a solid color with a vibrant colorway, resulting in stunning and personalized hats.
Materials Required:
- U.S. Size 11 24-inch circular needles and double-pointed needles (dpns)
- 1 stitch marker
- Extra wide brim hat: approximately 600 yards of worsted weight yarn
- Regular brim hat: approximately 440 yards of worsted weight yarn
