Hugs

For the Fall season, I'm excited to offer a $1.00 discount on each of my two new hat patterns, "Open Rose" and "Hugs." Enjoy this automatic discount with your purchase until November—it’s the perfect time to knit a cozy hat! Nothing says Fall quite like a beautifully crafted hat to keep you warm and stylish!

Recently, a wonderful friend approached me to design a special hat for her mother who needed a warm embrace, and that's how the "Hugs" hat came to life. This delightful pattern features a unique knit and purl design, highlighted by a charming cable that adds a distinctive twist. The cable design evokes the feeling of arms wrapped around you in a comforting hug, making it a thoughtful gift for someone special. Knit this lovely hat using your favorite fingering weight sock yarn to create a personal and heartfelt present.

Skill Level: This pattern is suitable for beginner to intermediate knitters, allowing you to enhance your skills while creating something beautiful.

Size: The "Hugs" hat is designed to fit one size, stretching comfortably to accommodate head sizes ranging from 19” to 22” (43-56 cm), ensuring a snug yet cozy fit for most adults.

Finished Measurements: After blocking, the hat will measure approximately 26 cm/10.5” in circumference, making it a perfect accessory for any Fall outfit.

Gauge: To achieve the ideal fit, aim for a gauge of 24 stitches per 10cm/4" in stockinette stitch when using larger needles. Accurate gauge is essential for the best results.

Materials Needed: To knit the "Hugs" hat, you will need US 1/2.5mm and US 3/3.25 mm (or size needed to obtain correct gauge) double-pointed needles or a circular needle that is at least 40 inches /100 cm long, suitable for the magic loop method. Gather your materials and get ready to create a stunning hat that will bring joy to its recipient!
