Ridges Hat
Introducing the Ridges Hat, a beautifully crafted ridged bobble hat featuring a cozy folded brim. This pattern allows you to knit in the round using two strands held together, creating a satisfyingly squishy and stretchy accessory that will keep you warm during those chilly days. Perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters, this simple project promises to deliver a stylish and functional addition to your winter wardrobe.
Essential Tools: For this knitting pattern, you will need 4mm needles designed for knitting in the round, a tapestry needle for finishing touches, one stitch marker to help keep track of your rounds, and optionally, a pom-pom or cardboard to add a fun flair to the top of your hat.
Yarn Requirements: This pattern calls for two strands of DK / Light Worsted / Weight 3 yarn held together, effectively making it similar to Aran / Worsted / Weight 4. The sample hat was beautifully knit using Red Heart Unforgettable yarn in the colorway 'Candied,' allowing you to choose vibrant combinations that match your personal style.
Yardage: You will need approximately 422 (469, 516) metres / 465 (517, 569) yards of yarn if you choose to include the bobble. If opting for a smoother finish without the bobble, roughly 311 (346, 380) meters / 343 (381, 419) yards should suffice.
Gauge Information: Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for your Ridges Hat. You’ll need to knit 20 stitches by 55 rounds for a 10cm / 4 inch square in the pattern (which consists of 5 rounds of knit followed by 5 rounds of purl). Alternatively, for a 2x2 rib gauge, aim for 21 stitches by 28 rounds for a 10cm / 4 inch square, also in the round.
Accessibility Features: We are committed to inclusivity, and that's why a visually accessible version of this pattern is available under the name "Ridges Hat (Visually Accessible)." Enjoy the art of knitting regardless of your visual capabilities.
