Igloo Hat

Introducing the Igloo Hat, a cozy and stylish accessory inspired by the iconic shape of traditional houses found in the Central Arctic and Qaanaaq region. This beautifully crafted hat, which translates to "snow hut," is designed to keep you warm and toasty during the cold winter months. With its heartwarming design, the Igloo Hat makes an indispensable addition to your winter accessory collection. Best of all, it’s a quick and satisfying project that won’t take up too much of your time!

MEASUREMENTS:

• Head Circumference: 54 - 60 cm [21.3 - 23.6 inches]
• Hat Brim: 5.5 cm [2 inches]

GAUGE:

For this project, we recommend using brioche stitch. Depending on your choice of needle size, you will achieve the following gauge:

• Using 6 mm [US 10] needles: 9 stitches x 26 rows (13 knit stitches in brioche stitch) = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches]
• Using 5 mm [US 8] needles: 11 stitches x 38 rows (19 knit stitches in brioche stitch) = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches]

SIZE GUIDE:

The Igloo Hat features a dome-shaped loose crown, elegantly fitted at the bind-off edge, complete with a stylish puff brim that adds a touch of flair to your winter wardrobe. To ensure a neat and consistent fit at the bind-off, we recommend sewing an elastic thread along the inside circumference of the hat. This simple technique will help you achieve a comfortable and secure fit while keeping the cold at bay.
