Paxton rose hat
Discover the charm of Scandinavian knitting with our delightful fun hat, featuring a traditional Scandinavian-style rose pattern. This versatile hat can be worn as a cozy beanie by folding the brim for optimal ear coverage or sported in a trendy slouchy style with the brim left unfolded.
This stylish hat is constructed in the round, seamlessly transitioning from the ribbed brim to the elegant crown. Detailed instructions for the intricate stranded colourwork pattern and crown shaping are conveniently provided in a user-friendly chart, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.
The long ribbed brim is designed to be exceptionally stretchy, ensuring a comfortable fit for a variety of head sizes, ranging from 20-22 inches (51-56 cm). Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this hat is perfect for everyone!
The sample was crafted using New Lanark Donegal Silk Tweed Double Knitting and New Lanark DK yarn. For optimal results, we recommend 2 balls of the main colour and 1 ball of the contrast colour. You'll need approximately 250 yards of the main colour and 65 yards of the contrast colour if you plan to add a stylish pompom on top of your hat.
Not only is this Scandinavian-style hat a fantastic addition to your winter wardrobe, but it also makes for a wonderful project to enjoy during cozy evenings at home. Dive into the world of colourwork with our detailed pattern and create a beautiful, functional accessory that showcases your knitting skills!
