Fidra

Introducing the Fidra Knit Hat Pattern – a delightful and stylish accessory for your cold-weather wardrobe! This quick and fun knit seamlessly combines the cozy textures of garter stitch and stockinette with eye-catching yarn over holes, incorporating both decorative flair and practical ventilation. And remember, you can always choose to add a pom pom for an extra touch of charm!

Size: Designed to fit a circumference of 20 ½ inches at the brim and standing 8 ½ inches tall from brim to crown, this hat is perfect for a snug yet comfortable fit.

Needles: You will need a US 9/5.5mm 16-inch circular needle, a US 10/6mm 16-inch circular needle, and a set of US 10/6mm double-pointed needles (or a long circular needle if you prefer the magic loop technique) to create your Fidra hat.

Yarn: This pattern calls for approximately 130 yards of chunky weight yarn. If you plan to add an optional pom pom, be sure to have some extra yarn on hand. The sample hat is made using Brooklyn Tweed Quarry, a stunning 100% American Wool yarn with a yardage of 200 yards per 100 grams, in the lovely “Gypsum” colorway.

Notions: Gather your knitting essentials, including a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds and a tapestry needle for the finishing touches of weaving in your ends.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 14 stitches and 26 rounds equaling 4 inches in Garter Rib pattern on your US 9/5.5mm needle. For Garter Stitch pattern, aim for 16 stitches and 26 rounds to achieve the same 4-inch dimensions on your US 10/6mm needle.
