This adorable Ice Cream Hat is a must-have knit project for summer! Crafted from ultra-soft cotton yarn, it serves as a charming and breathable accessory perfect for those sunny spring and summer days. The hat is expertly knitted in the round, seamlessly transitioning from the brim to the crown.

YARN: For this project, I recommend using Sublime Evie (Aran weight; 94% Cotton, 6% Nylon; 126 yards/50 grams) in the following colors: 515 Zola, 1 skein (Color A); 508 Nougat, 1 skein (Color B). The soft and breathable nature of this yarn makes it ideal for warm-weather wear, ensuring your hat stays comfortable while looking stylish.
NEEDLES: You will need US 8 / 5 mm circular needles with a 16’’ cable or any size needle that allows you to achieve the specified gauge. This knitting project is perfect for those looking to refine their circular knitting technique.
NOTIONS: Don't forget to have a stitch marker handy to help keep track of your pattern as you knit your Ice Cream Hat. This small tool will make your crafting experience more enjoyable and efficient!
GAUGE: Ensure your gauge is 4’’ / 10 cm = 16 stitches X 24 rows in pattern, blocked. Achieving the correct gauge is key to your hat fitting perfectly!
FINISHED DIMENSIONS: Upon completion, the Ice Cream Hat will have a circumference of 15.75 (17.75, 19.75)’’ / 40 (45, 50) cm and a length of 9’’ / 23 cm. This versatile sizing makes it an excellent gift for both adults and children alike!
