Little Ripples Hat

This stylish knitted hat pattern is designed for those looking to utilize leftover worsted weight yarn in their stash. This hat is worked in the round from the bottom up, making it an ideal project for knitters who prefer seamless designs. Featuring eye-catching colorwork created through mosaic knitting with slipped stitches, this hat transcends the ordinary striped hat with its unique ripple effect.

The primary color for the hat (MC) requires approximately 50-70g or 100-200 yards of worsted weight yarn, while the contrasting color (CC) needs around 15-25g or 40-70 yards. This pattern provides an excellent opportunity to use up those extra bits of yarn, allowing you to get creative with your color combinations and make a truly unique accessory.

The Tones version of this hat was crafted in size 3, utilizing 43g of ‘Undertone Baseline’ for the main color and 17g of ‘Undertone Persimmon’ for the contrasting color. This amount includes a delightful pom pom that adds the perfect finishing touch to your hat. Alternatively, the superwash version was knit in size 2, using 50g of The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Squish Worsted in the shade ‘Paul Newman’ paired with 12g of Malabrigo Rios in ‘Bobby Blue.’ This version opts for a sleek look without a pom pom, showcasing the beautiful color interplay.

Crafted with love and creativity, this mosaic knitting hat pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters looking to expand their skills while creating a cozy, fashionable winter accessory.
