Holly Jean Hat

**Holly Jean Hat Knitting Pattern** **Materials Required:** For this stylish and warm Holly Jean Hat, you’ll need Cascade 220 yarn from Cascade Yarns. The color scheme includes the following: - **Color A:** Jet (4002) – 2 skeins - **Color B:** Gray (8401) – 1 skein - **Color C:** Red (9404) – 1 skein **Needles:** To create this cozy hat, use US size 2 or 3 needles (2.75 or 3.25 mm). You’ll need a 16" circular needle and a set of double-pointed needles (DPNs) for seamless knitting. Remember, achieving the proper size is important, so make sure to adjust your needle size as necessary. **Please check your gauge carefully!** **Gauge:** For optimal results, aim for a gauge of 7 (6.5) stitches = 1 inch (2.5 cm), measured specifically over the stranded colorwork section of the hat. **Finished Size:** This versatile hat comes in two sizes: 19.5" and 21" (49.5 cm and 53.5 cm), making it a great fit for adult medium and adult large head sizes. **Design Notes:** The Holly Jean Hat is designed to be reversible, offering two stylish looks in one cozy accessory! Its thick knit fabric provides exceptional warmth, perfect for chilly weather. If you prefer a single-layer hat, consider adding a garter stitch border to your favorite side for a unique touch. **Pattern Support:** I strive to create knitting patterns that are not only clear but also easy to understand for knitters of all skill levels.
