Plaids
Introducing the Plaids hat, a stunning and slightly slouchy accessory that features intricate patterning crafted through advanced Twisted Stitches techniques. This stylish hat is perfect for showcasing solid and semisolid DK skeins from your yarn stash, making it an excellent project for knitters looking to utilize their unique yarns.
Size: This versatile pattern is designed to fit a head circumference of 54-56 cm (21-22 inches), making it suitable for a variety of adults. The hat measures approximately 23.5 cm (9.5 inches) from brim to top, offering a cozy and comfortable fit.
Yarn: This pattern requires just one skein of Kettle Yarn Co. BEYUL DK, a divine blend comprised of 60% superwash merino wool, 20% yak fiber, and 20% silk. With 212 meters (232 yards) per 100g skein, it creates a luxurious feel and elegant drape. The sample was knitted in the gorgeous Serpentine colorway, which beautifully complements the intricate stitch pattern.
Needles: For a successful knit, you will need a 4.00 mm (US #6) circular needle (at least 40 cm/16 inches long) and/or double-pointed needles (dpns), or a suitable size to achieve the desired gauge. Additionally, a 3.25 mm (US #3) circular needle (also at least 40 cm/16 inches long) or dpns is necessary, or use a size three smaller than your gauge needles for ribbing.
Other Supplies: Don't forget to have one stitch marker and a tapestry needle on hand for weaving in ends and finishing your lovely hat.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 28 stitches and 31 rounds in a 10 cm (4 inches) swatch in the Plaids pattern worked in the round using a 4.00 mm (US #6) needle. It's crucial to check your gauge to ensure the perfect fit; remember, taking the time to save time is essential! Adjust your needle size as necessary to obtain the correct gauge for your project.
