Helix Hat

Add a stylish new accessory to your fall and winter wardrobe with the knit-worthy **Helix Hat**. This cozy hat is expertly constructed from the brim to the crown, featuring a unique stripe design that intertwines with bold spirals, making a chic statement without requiring any complex colorwork. To complete the look, the hat is adorned with a delightful and fluffy big pom-pom on top, adding a playful touch to your outfit.

Sizes: This versatile hat is designed to fit everyone, with sizes available for Child (Adult Small, Adult Large) to accommodate head circumferences of 20 (22, 24)” / 51 (56, 61) cm. The pattern incorporates negative ease, ensuring a snug and flattering fit for your comfort during chilly weather.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit for your Helix Hat with a gauge of 20 stitches and 26 rows measuring 4” over stockinette stitch worked in the round, blocked. Consistent gauge will help ensure that your hat is both warm and stylish.

Needles: You will need a set of US 7 (4.5 mm) double-pointed needles (dpn), or a size that helps you achieve the desired gauge. Additionally, a set of US 6 (4.0 mm) dpn or one size smaller than the gauge needle will be needed for ribbing details at the brim.

Notions: Don't forget to gather essential knitting notions such as a tapestry needle for finishing, a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds, and a 2.5” pom-pom maker to create that lovely topping for your hat.

Yarn: For the Helix Hat, we recommend using **Knit Picks Mighty Stitch** yarn, composed of 20% Superwash Wool and 80% Acrylic, offering both warmth and easy care. You will need just 1 skein each of the following colors: MC: Alfalfa, CC1: Silver, and CC2: Mulberry, with 208 yards per 100g skein.

Your Helix Hat will not only provide warmth during the coldest months but will also be a stunning addition to your winter accessories, perfect for both kids and adults alike. Enjoy knitting this fun and trendy piece!
