Knitting Pattern Sizes:
This versatile knitting pattern is available in sizes 1 (2, 3), featuring a finished circumference of 41.5 cm (16.25”), 46 cm (18”), and 50.5 cm (19.75”). The finished length for each size measures 18 cm (7”), 20 cm (8”), and 23 cm (9”), respectively, after blocking and when unstretched. For the best fit, this design is recommended to be worn with 4-8 cm (1.75-3.25”) of negative ease for a snug yet comfortable look.
Gauge Information:
To achieve the desired aesthetic and fit, accurate gauge is essential. The gauge for this pattern is as follows: 20 stitches x 32 rows equals 10 x 10 cm (4” x 4”) when worked in the round using 1x1 Twisted Rib on the smaller needle after blocking. Additionally, when using the larger needle for the Main Stitch Pattern, the gauge is 26 stitches x 36 rows per 10 x 10 cm (4” x 4”) square, also after blocking. Make sure to check your gauge before you start to ensure a perfect fit!
Recommended Needles:
For this project, use a 4 mm (US 6) circular needle, or adjust to a needle size that allows you to meet the mentioned gauge, with a cable length of at least 40 cm (16”). Additionally, a 3.75 mm (US 5) circular needle is recommended, which should be one size smaller than your main needle to achieve the best results.
Essential Notions:
Gather your knitting essentials for a smoother crafting experience. You may want to include blocking tools (optional), a crochet hook (if you plan on using a provisional cast-on), a darning needle, and a pom pom maker (optional for added flair). It’s also wise to have a spare circular needle on hand for joining the folded brim (optional), stitch markers for pattern navigation, and a tape measure to keep track of your progress.

This pattern incorporates various knitting techniques, including an optional Provisional Cast On. Familiarizing yourself with this method can enhance your skill set and improve your overall knitting ability, making this project even more rewarding.
