Giralda Hat

Elevate your knitting projects with this magnificent hat design, inspired by the exquisite and timeless beauty of Moorish architecture. This unique knitted hat is perfect for both beginners and experienced crafters looking to add a touch of cultural elegance to their wardrobe.

The hat is expertly knitted in one seamless piece in the round using 16”/40 cm circular needles, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable crafting experience. This versatile pattern is sized to fit an average adult head comfortably, making it an ideal choice for gifting or personal wear.

The finished size of the band measures 17”/43 cm, which comfortably fits an average adult head circumference of 20-22”/51-56 cm. The hat's overall length is approximately 9”/23 cm, providing ample warmth and style for cold weather.

What sets this pattern apart is that it includes both written and charted instructions, catering to all knitting preferences and skill levels. You'll feel empowered to create a stunning accessory with ease!

To ensure perfect results, we recommend checking your gauge: 20 stitches x 28 rounds equals 4” (10 cm) on size 8 (5 mm) needles in the cable pattern after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for a well-fitting hat.
