Karpalo Hat

Introducing the Karpalo Hat, a wonderfully chunky and fluffy accessory perfect for keeping you warm during the colder months. This stylish hat features a double-folded brim crafted with a half brioche knitting stitch, giving it a unique texture and appearance. When worn, the brim folds twice, showcasing the beautiful right side of the half-brioche stitch on the outside for a chic look. The body of the Karpalo Hat is beautifully worked in a cozy 1x1 rib stitch, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.

Designed to fit most adult head sizes, this hat accommodates head circumferences ranging from 20 to 23 inches (51 to 58.5 cm), thanks to the stretchy and forgiving nature of the stitches used. Whether you're heading out for a winter walk, a cozy night in, or even just running errands, the Karpalo Hat will not only keep you warm but also elevate your style.

For this project, we recommend using Rowan Kid Classic yarn in color 847 (Cherry Red), requiring 2 skeins for a total of 306 yards (280m) and Rowan Kidsilk Haze in color 682 (Ruby), needing 1 skein for 229 yards (210m). Note that both yarns are held together throughout the project, creating a delightful blend of warmth and softness.

This pattern is ideal for intermediate knitters looking to enhance their skills and create a fashionable piece in the process. With its luxurious feel and trendy design, the Karpalo Hat makes a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one this winter season.
