SIZE

The hat features a brim circumference of 19.25” [49 cm], designed to comfortably fit head sizes ranging from approximately 20 to 23” [51 to 58.5 cm]. With a total length of 8” [20.5 cm] from the cast-on edge to the top, this cozy design will keep you warm and stylish during colder months.

YARN

This pattern is showcased in Malabrigo Yarn Arroyo, a luxurious blend of 100% superwash merino wool, offering an impressive 335 yards [306 m] per 100g skein. For this delightful hat, you will need just 1 skein each of the main color (MC) in Azul Profundo and the contrasting color (CC) in Immortal. Approximately 130 yards [119 m] of the main color and 50 yards [46 m] of the contrasting color will be required to complete this lovely project.

GAUGE

For the Lumena hat, the gauge is crucial: aim for 27 stitches and 32 rows to equal 4 inches/10 cm in Main Pattern when using the larger needles specified in the pattern.

PATTERN NOTE

It is essential to match both row gauge and stitch gauge for the Lumena hat to ensure a perfect fit. An inaccurate row gauge may result in a hat that is too short or too long. If your row gauge is only slightly off, consider adjusting the length of the ribbed brim, either lengthening or shortening it, to achieve the desired fit.

This versatile and eye-catching hat is an excellent addition to your knitting repertoire. Perfect for personal use or as a thoughtful gift, the Lumena knit hat pattern is sure to be cherished by anyone who receives it. Embrace your creativity and start knitting your Lumena hat today!
