Frija

Introducing the Frija Hat – a beautifully crafted pattern that is worked in the round from the bottom up. This cozy hat combines bulky yarn with simple yet elegant cable designs and comfy garter stitch, ensuring that you’ll not only stay warm but also look stylish during the colder months. The unique texture of the Frija Hat makes it a delightful addition to your knitting collection, and it promises to be wonderfully squishy and warm against the winter chill.

For this project, you will need US size 10½ (6.5 mm) needles or the size necessary to achieve your gauge, along with a 16” (40 cm) circular needle. Additionally, prepare a US size 11 (8 mm) needle, which is one size larger than the needle used for the gauge, along with a 16” (40 cm) circular needle and double-pointed needles (DPNs) for the crown shaping.

Essential notions include a beginning of round stitch marker, a cable needle to aid in your cabling, a yarn needle for finishing touches, and an optional faux fur pom pom for that added flair. If you wish to help keep your pattern organized, you may also want to include 4 additional stitch markers for separating pattern repeats—these are highly recommended for ease and efficiency.

This pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, whether you're a beginner looking to expand your repertoire or an experienced knitter in search of a quick project. The Frija Hat not only makes a great gift but also offers a satisfying and enjoyable knitting experience.
