First Flurries Hat

Introducing the perfect cold weather hat to keep you warm and stylish when those first flurries grace the sky! This modern knitted beanie features a trendy twisted rib brim and intricate sections of texture combined with simple stranded colorwork, ensuring that it not only knits up quickly but also showcases your creativity. For an added touch of whimsy, finish it off with a fluffy pompon topper that gives it a playful flair.

This versatile pattern is designed to fit both youth with an 18-20” head circumference and adults with a 21-23” head circumference. The comprehensive instructions provide options for a full ear coverage beanie (as shown in the pattern), an optional slouchy fit for a laid-back aesthetic, or a shortened beanie for those who prefer a more fitted style.

To highlight the captivating colorwork and stripe detail, choose two yarn colors that offer high contrast—either featuring both tonal colors or pairing one tonal color with a lightly speckled option. Typically, two 100 gram (3.5 ounce) skeins should yield enough yarn to create two hats with the colors reversed. However, please be mindful that variations in gauge and any yarn substitutions will influence the yardage required, so plan accordingly. Keep in mind that opting for a slouchy style may require more yarn than a traditional fit.

Whether you’re knitting for yourself or creating thoughtful gifts for family and friends, this cold weather hat pattern will quickly become a favorite in your collection. Stay warm and stylish all winter long with this delightful knitting project!
