Merry Un-Birthday Hat
Celebrate your unique Un-Birthday every day with this delightful and cozy knitted hat pattern! With only 364 days a year to embrace this whimsical celebration, you can create your own winter wonder with a hat that's not just practical but also a true fashion statement. The slipped stitches give this hat a dense, luxurious feel, providing the perfect barrier against winter's chill, while the super stretchy ribbed texture ensures a comfortable fit for a variety of head sizes, making it suitable for ages tween to medium adult.
The finished dimensions of the hat range from 18 to 19.5 inches, accommodating head sizes from 20 to 22 inches comfortably. For those who prefer a tighter fit, simply folding up the brim of this long brim style will do the trick, allowing for versatility in wear.
This hat pattern is perfect for those looking to bust their stash! By holding any two strands of fingering weight yarn together, you can utilize your leftover yarn and create a truly unique piece. You will need between 415 to 630 yards of yarn, depending on your choice of brim length and how many repeats you incorporate into your design. My long brim version featured an exciting blend of 9 different yarns, with total weights ranging from 37g to less than 5g, culminating in a delightful total weight of 145g. Alternatively, you can opt for a more streamlined approach using two 50g skeins or even a single 100g skein for your project.
To create this stunning hat, gather the following materials: a 16" size 6/4mm circular needle, along with corresponding double-pointed needles (DPNs) for finishing the top of the crown. You’ll also need a yarn needle for weaving in ends, a Beginning of Round marker to keep track of your progress, and a Pom-Pom for an extra touch of flair, if desired.
Unleash your creativity and make this delightful knitted hat a staple for chilly days or a thoughtful gift for friends and family. Dive into your yarn stash and craft something special that embodies the joy of your Un-Birthday every day!
