Ofinn linen hat
Introducing Ofinn - a stunning hat pattern inspired by the Icelandic word meaning 'woven.' This design showcases the elegant textured linen stitch, created through the artful use of slipped stitches. The result is a beautiful pattern that can be proudly worn on both the right and wrong sides. In the accompanying images, you'll notice the charming grey hat featuring the right side of the stitch pattern, while the delightful pink hat illustrates the equally beautiful reverse stitch on the wrong side.
To add versatility to your knit, the Ofinn pattern provides two options for ribbing, clearly detailed in the downloadable PDF. This ensures that you can customize your hat to suit your style preferences perfectly. Whether you choose a more traditional or modern ribbing approach, the end result will be a cozy accessory that elevates any outfit.
Yarn: The pattern calls for just 1 skein of Lang Yarns Andina, available in the stunning colorways 0009 (grey) and 0024 (pink). Each skein offers approximately 54 yards (50 meters) of luxurious 100% alpaca yarn in super chunky weight, perfect for creating a warm and stylish hat.
Needles: For this pattern, you will need 15mm (US 19) circular or double-point needles, allowing for comfortable knitting while working on this sophisticated design.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 7 stitches and 16 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) when using the linen stitch. Getting your gauge right will ensure your hat looks and fits beautifully.
Measurements: The finished hat measures approximately 10.5 inches (27 cm) in length, designed to fit an approximate circumference of 22 inches. This makes it a fantastic accessory for both men and women, offering warmth and style in equal measure.
Notions: Don't forget to gather 1 stitch marker to mark the beginning of your round (BOR), ensuring a smooth knitting experience as you craft this lovely hat.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, the Ofinn pattern is a delightful project that combines simplicity with sophistication, making it a must-have for your knitting repertoire.
