Lippo Hat

Introducing the **Lippo Hat**, a stylish accessory that complements the **Lippo fingerless mitts** knitting pattern. This delightful hat is designed for comfort and warmth, making it an essential addition to any wardrobe. Perfect for chilly days, the Lippo Hat is crafted to fit the average adult head size, but can easily be adjusted to suit your unique preference. You can achieve your desired size by employing a more vigorous blocking technique, selecting different needle sizes, or experimenting with yarn weight adjustments while recalibrating your needle choices accordingly.

Skill Level: This pattern is ideal for adventurous beginners and intermediates alike. The Lippo Hat is knit in the round, utilizing essential techniques such as the long-tail cast-on, knit and purl stitches, eyelets for decorative flair, and basic decreases for shaping. To cater to various learning styles, the pattern is provided in both written instructions and charted format.

Recommended Tools and Notions: You will need US size 4 (3.5mm) and US size 6 (4mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs) or circular needles if you prefer the magic loop method. Additionally, having stitch markers and a tapestry needle handy for weaving in ends will be beneficial. Ensure that you adjust your needle size as needed to achieve the correct gauge for the best results.

Gauge Information: The Lippo Hat pattern requires a gauge of 20 stitches and 27 rows in stockinette stitch on larger needles to equal 10 cm (4 inches). It's crucial to check your gauge before starting to ensure your hat fits perfectly!

Yarn Suggestions: For this project, we recommend using 50 to 70 grams of any DK to worsted weight yarn that meets the specified gauge. Wool is a fantastic option if you desire an extra warm and cozy hat, making it perfect for winter wear. Whether you choose a bold color or a classic neutral, the Lippo Hat will surely become your favorite go-to accessory.
