Stylish Knit Hat Pattern for Adults
Introducing a chic and cozy knit hat pattern that is perfect for all skill levels! This stylish headwear is designed to fit adult head sizes ranging from 21” to 23”, with a finished circumference of 17”. The hat is intended to be worn with a snug fit, providing 4-6” of negative ease from your actual head size, ensuring a comfortable and secure wear.
Required Skills: This pattern requires basic knitting skills including knowledge of cables and bobbles, making it an ideal project for both beginners looking to enhance their skills and experienced knitters seeking a quick and rewarding knit.
Yarn: For this pattern, we recommend using Once Upon A Corgi 'Cecil', a luxurious 100% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) yarn. Each skein contains 181 yards per 100g. The sample is shown in the stunning colorway “Ravishing,” but feel free to choose any aran-weight yarn with approximately 150 yards for similar results!
Needles: To achieve the perfect fit, use US size 7 (4.5 mm) needles or adjust to attain the correct gauge. You'll need a 16” circular needle and double-pointed needles (DPN’s) or a longer circular needle to work the decreases using the magic loop method. Additionally, you'll require US size 5 (3.75 mm) needles or two sizes smaller than the gauge needle for the ribbing section.
Notions: Make sure to have handy some removable stitch markers, a cable needle for those intricate cables, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.
Gauge: To ensure your hat fits perfectly, aim for a gauge of 19 stitches and 24 rows per 4” / 10 cm in stockinette stitch, knit in the round, after blocking, using the US 7 (4.5 mm) needles.
This knit hat pattern not only provides warmth and style but also offers an excellent opportunity to practice your cable and bobble techniques. Download this pattern today and add a touch of handmade charm to your winter wardrobe!
