This hat is the ultimate stash buster, allowing you to use up any odds and ends of DK yarn you have lying around. Whether you have vibrant colors or subtle shades, this pattern will help you create a beautiful hat while decluttering your yarn stash!
Our pattern includes detailed instructions on our favorite method for joining in the round and crafting a stylish pom-pom for the hat’s finishing touch. However, feel free to explore different techniques that suit your preference, as you’ll end up with a stunning hat regardless of the method you choose!
To ensure the best fit and appearance, we highly recommend knitting a tension swatch square to check your gauge. Working with the six strands of yarn can feel a bit overwhelming at first, so adjusting your needle size to achieve the right gauge is essential for a perfect outcome.
You will need:
- 7mm circular needles (40cm or longer - we recommend using a 100cm length for ease)
- 8mm circular needles (40cm or longer - again, we suggest a 100cm length)
- 6 balls of DK wool (ensure each ball is at least 30g - this is perfect for utilizing scraps!)
- A crochet hook (any size will work, ideal for weaving in ends)
- Cardboard and scissors (or a pom-pom maker, if you prefer)
Get ready to create a beautiful, cozy hat that not only keeps you warm but also showcases your knitting skills. Hurry and gather your supplies—this knitting pattern is perfect for both seasoned knitters and beginners alike!
