Liaise

Introducing the stunning and stylish Liaise Hat, a beautiful knitting pattern that perfectly complements the Liaison cowl. This delightful hat not only keeps you warm but also adds a touch of sparkle with its charming design—making it a must-have accessory for your winter wardrobe!

CONSTRUCTION NOTES: This fashionable hat is cleverly worked from the bottom up in the round, utilizing the ever-popular garter stitch technique. Start your project with your main color and enjoy creating a playful two-color stripe pattern adorned with fun slipped stitch dots for added texture. To shape the crown, you will employ double decreasing techniques towards the end of your knitting, resulting in a beautifully finished piece that is sure to turn heads.

The sample for the Liaise hat has been crafted using luxurious DyeForYarn Merino Baby Camel, a single ply yarn that consists of 55% Merino and 45% Camel, boasting an impressive yardage of 480m (524yds) per 100g. If you're seeking alternatives, I highly recommend BC Garn Baby Alpaca in two striking contrasting shades, which will also provide a soft and cozy finish.

GAUGE: It is essential to achieve the correct gauge for success. The stated gauge is 23 stitches by 50 rows for a 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) swatch in garter stitch. Please make sure to swatch and determine your optimal needle size before starting your project. While I've provided suggested needle sizes as a guideline, it's important to remember that each knitter has their own unique tension. Therefore, knitting and washing your swatch is the best way to identify the right needle sizes for your individual knitting style. When washing your swatch, do so as you would for the finished item, keeping in mind the care instructions on the yarn label.

Elevate your knitting journey with the Liaise Hat pattern — a beautiful blend of style, warmth, and technique. Perfect for knitters at all levels, you will love the creative process and the stunning results!
