Loulou Hat

Introducing the adorable Cute Striped Hat knitting pattern, featuring the unique Almond Stitch! This pattern comes complete with a detailed photo tutorial and a helpful video link, ensuring you can effortlessly master this stitch. The Almond Stitch not only adds a delightful texture but also makes your fabric irresistibly squishy, perfect for creating a warm and cozy hat that you'll love to wear. **Materials Needed:** - **Yarn:** Sport weight yarn is recommended (136 yards for the main color and 100 yards for the contrast color). For this pattern, we used Millamia Naturally Soft Merino, 100% virgin wool, with a generous 50g skein providing 136 yards (125m). The colorways showcased are Coral 185 and Dark Brown, which combine beautifully for a striking effect. - **Needles:** You will need Size US 6 (4 mm) circular needles, ideally in a 16” (40cm) length. Additionally, having Size US 6 (4 mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs) on hand is essential, or you may opt for a 31” (80cm) circular needle if you prefer the magic loop method. **Finished Measurements:** This hat is designed to fit a head circumference of 19 to 22 inches (48 to 56 cm) and has a length from brim to crown of approximately 6 inches (15 cm), making it a stylish accessory for any season.
