Juneary

Juneary is a beautifully crafted ribbed hat pattern, designed to transition seamlessly between three distinct types of ribbing. This essential accessory captures the essence of those cool, breezy days that often hit the Pacific Northwest just as summer approaches.

As we welcome June, the weather can be surprisingly chilly, with rain and winds that are reminiscent of January. This unique climate phenomenon, affectionately referred to as Juneary, is experienced all along the Canadian coast down to Northern California. While our Januarys are typically mild, the cooler days of June can feel much the same. This hat embodies the perfect solution for those unexpected, cooler summer days.

When designing the perfect lightweight hat for this capricious season, it was essential to choose the right type of yarn. Heavy, bulky winter yarns simply wouldn’t do—after all, the sun has a way of surprising us! For this project, I selected WOOLFOLK LUFT, a yarn that is delightful to work with. Its incredibly lightweight quality gives it an almost nonexistent feel, making it perfect for all-day wear. I wore this hat throughout a children's party on a chilly June day, and I was pleasantly surprised to forget that I even had a hat on!

SIZING: Circumference: 20” to fit an average adult head. Height: 9.5”. This makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to add a functional yet stylish element to their wardrobe.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting out, the Juneary ribbed hat pattern offers a great opportunity to hone your skills while creating a practical accessory that effortlessly blends style with comfort.
