Garden District Hat

Introducing the Garden District Hat, an exquisite knit hat featuring a beautiful braided cable pattern that artfully intertwines with rib and stockinette stitches. This stylish yet functional accessory was thoughtfully designed for a resident of New Orleans, giving it the name "Garden District," after one of the city's most charming neighborhoods. Complete your look with our coordinated cowl and glove patterns, perfect for a comprehensive winter ensemble.

Finished Size Options: The Garden District Hat is available in multiple sizes: 19 (21.5, 24)” around unstretched, stretching comfortably up to 26” in circumference, with a height of 8.5”. The adjustable design ensures a perfect fit for everyone, making it an excellent project for knitters of all levels.

Yarn Recommendation: For the ideal result, we recommend using Neighborhood Fiber Co. Studio Sock, which is made from 100% Superwash Merino yarn. With 400 yards in each 114g skein, this yarn is both soft and durable. The sample hat was crafted in the stunning colorway Olde Towne East and utilized just 135 yards for the medium size, so you can create a cozy hat without using a whole skein.

Needles Required: To knit the Garden District Hat, you’ll need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or a 16” circular needle in size 3 US (3.25 mm), or another size that achieves the correct gauge. This flexible needle option is suitable for various knitting techniques and preferences.

Gauge Information: Achieve the best results with a gauge of 18 stitches and 24 rows per 4” in blocked stockinette when knitting in the round. Achieving the proper gauge is crucial for ensuring a well-fitting and comfortable hat.

By following this pattern, not only will you create a fashionable accessory that showcases your knitting skills, but you will also immerse yourself in a piece that embodies the spirit of New Orleans.
