Jules

Introducing the Jules Unisex Sport Weight Hat, a beautifully designed knitted accessory made from a luxurious blend of merino and alpaca fibers that provide exceptional warmth and comfort. This stylish hat features intricate braided cables that seamlessly climb from the brim to the crown, elegantly separated by a smooth sea of purl stitches. A unique twisted stitch runs through the design, symbolizing the unbreakable bond between my sister and me amidst all of life's separations.

This knitting pattern offers clear, written instructions—perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike. With no charts to navigate, all stitches and cable techniques are explained in detail, ensuring a user-friendly experience that promotes confidence and skill development for new knitters. The finished hat measures approximately 8 inches (20.3 cm) in height, but if you desire a longer fit, instructions for adjustment are included to help you customize your creation.

For yarn selection, I recommend using Cloudborn Merino Alpaca Sport yarn for the best results, but any sport weight yarn that can meet the gauge of 30 stitches and 30 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in a twisted rib pattern on size 5 US (3.75 mm) needles will work beautifully. Please note that gauge is measured after washing and blocking, ensuring your finished hat maintains its shape and size.

Whether you're making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Jules Hat is a versatile accessory that showcases both style and warmth. Dive into this enjoyable knitting project today and create a cherished piece that embodies love, strength, and connection.
