Mellor Avenue Hat

**Mellor Avenue Hat Knitting Pattern** The Mellor Avenue Hat features a beautifully crafted ribbed cable pattern that is both stylish and functional, perfect for those chilly days. This versatile design allows you to fold over the brim for added warmth or keep it long for a cozy look. Inspired by the quaint streets of Catonsville, Maryland, where my local yarn shop, Cloverhill Yarn Shop, is located, this hat pays homage to the community and the stunning Tempting Ewe Yarns, the talented dyer behind this pattern. For those looking to create a complete winter ensemble, a matching cowl and fingerless mitts pattern are also available. To knit the full set, you will need two full skeins of Tempting Ewe Yarns Ewe So Perfect DK yarn. (The hat is shown with a 4” brim elegantly folded over for a stylish touch.) **Finished Size:** The hat measures approximately 20.8” (22.4”, 24”) around the hem, making it a perfect fit for a variety of head sizes. **Yarn Requirements:** This project requires Tempting Ewe Yarns Ewe So Perfect DK, which consists of a blend of 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon. This high-quality yarn offers softness, warmth, and durability with a generous 246 yards per 100g skein. The sample was knit using the stunning Rusty Pipes colorway, and the medium-sized hat design utilized approximately 155 yards of yarn. **Needles:** To create the Mellor Avenue Hat, you will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or two circular needles in size 5 US (3.75 mm). Be sure to choose the size that best helps you achieve the correct gauge for this pattern. **Gauge:** For this hat, the gauge is 20 stitches and 24 rows per 4” in blocked stockinette stitch, specifically knit in the round to create a seamless finish. This charming knitting pattern not only keeps you warm but also adds a touch of sophistication to your winter wardrobe. Whether you are an experienced knitter or looking to improve your skills, the Mellor Avenue Hat is a rewarding project that combines craftsmanship with cozy style.
