Kamel

Introducing the Kamel Hat – the ultimate beginner-friendly knitting pattern that is both simple and gender-neutral! This stylish hat starts off with a tall ribbing that can be neatly folded, creating a fitted beanie look that suits everyone. The body of the hat showcases a delightful textured stitch pattern, skillfully combining easy purls and knits, with crown decreases subtly integrated into the design.

The Kamel Hat is available in three sizes: S, M, and L, making it an excellent choice for a range of head circumferences: 52 cm (20½”), 56 cm (22”), and 60 cm (23½”). The sample shown in the images is in size L, demonstrating the chic appearance and versatility of this charming accessory.

To create your own Kamel Hat, you'll need 180 (200, 220)m (or 200 (220, 240)yd) of DK weight yarn. We recommend using Lana Gatto Camel Hair for a luxurious finish, but feel free to experiment with your favorite yarn! The recommended needle sizes for this pattern are a US 5 (3.75 mm) circular needle and a US 6 (4.0 mm) circular needle, allowing for both comfort and ease of handling as you knit.

For the perfect gauge, aim for 22 stitches by 36 rows over a 10 cm (4”) swatch in the textured pattern when worked in the round with the larger needle. Don't forget to gather a stitch marker, hook, or tapestry needle to assist you in your knitting journey. Get ready to create a cozy, fashionable hat that you'll love to wear or gift to friends and family!
