Introducing the Playful Plumage Hat, a beautiful and textured lace hat specifically designed to showcase stunning hand-dyed yarns while keeping your head toasty warm during the winter months. After the success of my Playful Plumage Shawl, I was inspired to adapt the unique stitch pattern for a cozy hat, and I couldn't be happier with how it translates beautifully to worsted weight yarn.
As an added bonus, this pattern includes detailed instructions on how to create a fitted neck cowl to accompany your hat. If you wish to make a longer eternity scarf, simply add stitches and/or repeats to adjust for your desired length.
Yarn Requirements
You will need approximately 400 yards of vibrant worsted weight yarn in total—200 yards for the hat and an additional 200 yards for the cowl. Choosing high-quality, hand-dyed yarn will truly elevate the visual appeal of this project!
Needle Information
For this project, you will need the following knitting needles:
- 1 US size 5 (3.75 mm), 16-inch circular needle
- 1 US size 7 (4.5 mm), 16-inch circular needle
- 1 set of US size 7 (4.5 mm) double-pointed needles.
Notions Needed
Don't forget a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and optionally, stitch markers can be really useful for keeping track of pattern repeats. This pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters ready to take their skills to the next level!
Grab your yarn and needles, and let's get started on the Playful Plumage Hat! Your friends and family will love the finished product, and it'll make a delightful gift or a stylish accessory for yourself. Happy knitting!
