Rhinecliff Hat
Discover the charm of autumn knitting with the Rhinecliff Hat, a stunning design inspired by one of the most beautiful fall destinations I’ve ever experienced. This delightful hat pattern incorporates everything that I love about hat knitting: intricate cables, timeless texture, and a warm, cozy brim. The elegant cable and rib pattern flows seamlessly into the crown, topped off with an extra large, fluffy pom-pom that adds a playful touch!
This unisex hat is crafted in one continuous piece, knitted in the round from the brim upward. Using worsted-weight merino yarn guarantees that this hat not only offers exceptional warmth but also provides a soft, comfortable fit against the skin. When considering size, note that the baby and toddler/child sizes share the same finished circumference but feature different heights. The Rhinecliff Hat is highly stretchy, so it’s important to select a size that is at least a couple of inches smaller than your actual head circumference for the perfect snug fit!
Materials:
Worsted-weight yarn: 120 (135, 175, 215) yds / 110 [125, 160, 200 m] (this includes the yarn needed for the pom-pom)
Gauges:
22 sts / 32 rnds = 4” [10 cm] in Beaded Rib (unstretched) with the largest needles, after blocking
22 sts / 16 rnds = 3" [7.5 cm] wide and 2” [5 cm] high in the Cable Panel
Whether you’re an experienced knitter looking to enhance your skills or a beginner eager to explore the world of cables and textures, the Rhinecliff Hat is the perfect project for you. This cozy accessory is not only functional but also a stylish addition to your autumn wardrobe. Start your knitting journey today and create a beautiful keepsake that celebrates the essence of fall!
