Peanuts Hat

Creating the perfect winter accessory has never been easier with this delightful Peanuts knitting pattern! This pattern is designed for ultimate ease, featuring two brim options: a free folding brim and a double fixed brim. It accommodates a range of sizes, making it simple to adjust for the perfect fit. The sizes include XS-S (fitting head circumferences of 48-56 cm / 18-22 in) and M-L (56-60 cm / 22-24 in). The brim length, when folded, measures 6.5 cm / 2.9 in, while the overall hat length is 21 cm / 8 in from the turned-up brim edge to the crown. For an adorable finishing touch, we recommend a pompom size of 6.5 cm / 2.9 in in diameter.

For this cozy knit project, we recommend using Drops Nepal, a luxurious blend of 65% wool and 35% alpaca, which comes in three vibrant shades: Color 1 (orange 2920) - approx. 80 g; Color 2 (off white 0100) - approx. 20 g; Color 3 (grey 0501) - approx. 5 g; and an additional 18 g for a large pompom. Make sure to select a similar non-superwash yarn to achieve the desired gauge for your project.

When it comes to tools, you'll need 4 mm and 4.5 mm (6-7 US) 50 cm circular needles to start knitting, along with optional 4 mm (6 US) double-pointed needles to work the crown. Don’t forget a crochet hook or tapestry needle to weave in those pesky ends, plus one stitch marker to keep your place. 

Achieving the perfect gauge is essential for ensuring your hat fits beautifully. For this Peanuts pattern, aim for 20 stitches and 16 rows per 10 cm/4 in using a 4.5 mm needle in stockinette stitch with a charming fair isle motif. Dress up your cold-weather ensemble with this simple yet stylish project that showcases your knitting skills. Dive into the world of handmade fashion with our Peanuts hat pattern today!
