Heart Beep

Looking to create a unique Valentine’s gift for someone who absolutely, definitely, indisputably refuses to wear anything adorned with hearts? Why not make their heart "beep"? This whimsical and modern colourwork hat is not only a delightful knit, but it also serves as an ideal stash-busting project, making the most out of your worsted weight wool yarn.

**Basic Pattern Information**: Available Sizes: This charming hat comes in four sizes: Toddler (16”), Child (18.5”), Adult Regular (22”), and Adult Large (24”). Gauge: To ensure a perfect fit, aim for 26 stitches and 28 rounds in a 4” square of colourwork using larger needles. Yarn Details: We recommend a lovely worsted weight such as Cascade 220. For the Main Color (MC), you'll need 75 (85, 95, 110) yards, while the Contrast Color (CC) requires 40 (45, 50, 60) yards. Needles: Use 3.0mm and 4mm double-pointed needles (DPNs) or another size that achieves the required gauge with the larger needles. Notions: Don't forget to have stitch markers handy, along with a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends!

This quick-knit project allows you to express your creativity without the typical Valentine's motifs, making it a thoughtful and playful gift option. Whether you are making the hat for a child, a partner, or a friend, it’s sure to bring a smile without the need for hearts.
