Open Rose and Hugs; 2 Hats, 1 Skein
Craft Two Stylish Hats with Just One Skein of Your Favorite Fingering Weight Sock Yarn!
Get ready to knit two chic hats using only one skein of your most-loved fingering weight sock yarn—ideally, 440 yards (402 meters) or more! Whether you're looking to gift your handmade creations or keep them for yourself, these hats are the perfect addition to any winter wardrobe.
Skill Level: This pattern is designed for intermediate knitters who are comfortable working in stockinette stitch and using double-pointed needles or circular needles for the magic loop method.
Size: The hats are crafted to fit a head circumference of 19” to 22” (43-56 cm). After blocking, they'll measure approximately 26 cm/10.5” in circumference, allowing them to stretch comfortably to accommodate a range of head sizes.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 24 stitches to 10 cm/4" in stockinette stitch when using larger needles. Accurate gauge is essential for ensuring the final hats meet the desired dimensions.
Materials Needed: For this project, you will need US size 1 (2.5mm) and size 3 (3.25mm) double-pointed needles or a circular needle that is at least 40 inches (100 cm) long for the magic loop technique. Additionally, gather 5 stitch markers and a darning needle for weaving in those pesky ends once you complete your hats.
Yarn Recommendations: Use one skein of fingering weight yarn that weighs 100 grams. For this project, I used the vibrant Nicole C. Méndez Sockenwolle in the stunning color Hot Purple, along with the beautiful Malabrigo Sock in the rich shade Light of Love. Both yarns provide excellent stitch definition and warmth.
Whether you are knitting for yourself, as a gift for friends or family, or to sell at craft fairs, these two stylish hats will surely impress. Dive into your knitting journey today and create cozy headwear that showcases your skill and creativity!
