Junia
Introducing the Junia toque, a beautifully designed, slightly slouchy hat that adds a unique flair to your winter wardrobe. This stylish accessory features a delicate touch of embroidery around the brim, allowing you to express your creativity. Whether you choose to knit this hat in a classic solid color or embellish the brim with leftover hand-painted yarn for a vibrant contrast, Junia is sure to turn heads.
The Junia hat is skillfully knit sideways, starting with a provisional cast on. To facilitate easy embroidery of the elegant leaf pattern, the design incorporates a clever setup that integrates the embroidery pattern directly into the fabric of the hat. Throughout the knitting process, yarn overs and purl bumps on right-side (RS) rows serve as guides for where to add your intricate embroidery stitches. Once you complete the knitting, the two sides of the hat are seamlessly joined using the Kitchener stitch, providing a clean and professional finish. Afterward, you can add your chosen embroidery details with confidence. The pattern also includes a helpful chart to guide you in creating the beautiful embroidery stitches that will adorn your hat.
Yarn requirements for this stylish toque are approximately 200 yards for the M size and 220 yards for the L size, making it a perfect project for utilizing your favorite yarn stash. Ideal for knitters of various skill levels, this pattern is both engaging and rewarding.
Don't forget the necessary notions to complete your Junia hat! You'll need a crochet hook, some waste yarn, three stitch markers, and a tapestry needle to finish the project.
The finished Junia toque measures 10 inches in height from crown to brim, with a circumference of 18(20) inches, making it a cozy accessory that fits snugly yet comfortably. This delightful pattern incorporates short rows and a gorgeous garter stitch Kitchener finish, ensuring that your creation is not only stylish but also crafted with care. Get ready to impress your friends and family with your knitting skills while keeping warm in this stunning Junia toque!
