Modjeska Hat

Unlock the beauty of today's stunning variegated yarns and elevate your knitting projects with a simple yet visually striking fair isle design that appears complex! This delightful hat pattern features a combination of just two colors — you can choose a solid yarn paired with a captivating variegated option, or opt for two contrasting solid colors for a bold look. The project uses less than a skein of each color, making it not just economical, but also a fantastic way to showcase your creativity. With Malabrigo Rios yarn, you can easily create two beautiful hats by simply reversing the main and contrast colors for each one.

Essential skills required for this project include knitting in the round, reading a chart, and executing decreases. If you’re looking to expand your knitting skills, this hat is an ideal project to help you practice and perfect your techniques!

Before you dive into this project, please ensure you check your gauge. The hat, as designed, measures 20" around and comfortably stretches to fit a head size of 22". To customize your size, simply use smaller needles for a snugger fit, or larger needles for a more spacious hat. It’s important to note that Malabrigo Rios is categorized as a "light" worsted weight yarn; using a different yarn will likely impact your gauge. Always swatch ahead of time to confirm the finished size of your hat!
