Healas Hat
The Healas Hat is an exquisite knitting pattern that showcases a unique design featuring half-twisted ribbing, enchanting eyelets, and strategic decreases. This combination results in a beautiful, crown-like brim, from which delicate ribbed columns emerge, coming together at a stunning center once all decreases are complete. This eye-catching accessory will not only keep you warm but also elevate your style!
Pattern Measurements: The finished circumference of the Healas Hat includes three sizes: 43 (46, 52) cm / 17 (18, 20.5)” and a height of 19 (20, 21) cm / 7.5 (7.75, 8.25)”. With these adjustable sizes, this hat is perfect for both adults and older children alike, making it a versatile addition to your knitting repertoire.
Recommended Yarn: For this beautiful pattern, we suggest using Moel View Yarn British DK, which offers a delightful blend of softness and structure. You will need 45 (50, 60) g / 1.6 (1.8, 2.1) oz of yarn, approximately 110 (120, 145) m / 120 (135, 160) yds, ensuring that you have enough material to create this stylish piece.
Gauge Instructions: To achieve the perfect fit, it is important to maintain the correct gauge of 23 stitches and 32 rounds per 10 cm / 4” in stockinette stitch while knitting in the round on 4 mm needles. Remember to check your gauge after blocking to ensure your Healas Hat is just right!
Knitting Needles: For this project, you will need a 4 mm / US 6 circular needle with a 60 cm / 24” length. If you prefer, you can use double-pointed needles or a longer circular needle for the magic loop technique. Additionally, a 3.5 mm / US 4 circular needle with a 60 cm / 24” length is required for ribbing or any size necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Essential Notions: To complete your Healas Hat, make sure to gather scrap yarn, a stitch marker, and a darning needle for sewing in those pesky ends. These basic tools will help ensure a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience.
This charming hat pattern is perfect not only for knitters of all skill levels but also makes for an excellent gift for friends and family. Whether you are looking to keep your head cozy or create a thoughtful present, the Healas Hat will be a delightful project that is sure to impress!
