Korea hat

Introducing our incredibly stretchy hat pattern, perfect for crafters looking to create a cozy accessory adorned with unique cables, plaits, and ribbing. This versatile design knits up quickly using bulky yarn, making it an ideal project for both beginners and seasoned knitters looking for a satisfying quick knit.

The pattern provides two fantastic hat options: one crafted from soft and squishy bulky yarn for a plush, warm finish, and another utilizing worsted weight yarn held double, resulting in a firmer, more structured hat. No matter your preference, you're sure to enjoy the process of making this stylish and functional winter accessory!

Gauge Information:
For the bulky yarn on US size 9 needles, achieve a gauge of 6 stitches by 6 rounds per inch (as seen in the black version). Alternatively, when using worsted weight yarn held double on US size 10 needles, strive for a gauge of 4 stitches by 5 rounds per inch (as demonstrated in the tweed version).

Gauge Note: This gauge is specifically knit using a 12-stitch plait pattern and has not been blocked.

Finished Measurements:
- Unblocked: 18 inches in diameter and 8 inches in height.
- Fits head circumferences ranging from 20 to 22 inches, making it a great choice for many!

Just a little note: this hat boasts remarkable stretch, allowing the bulky version to comfortably accommodate a ponytail or bun. While the worsted held double version offers significant elasticity, it does fit more tightly around the head. Whether you're creating a stylish accessory for yourself or gifting one to a friend, this stretchy hat pattern is sure to be a beloved addition to any winter wardrobe.
