Rolled Brim Hat in Size Adult
If you're looking for an adorable hat pattern that fits a child or an average lady with a head circumference of 21" to 23", this design is perfect for you! This hat can be easily customized by using a thinner yarn and smaller needles, resulting in a smaller hat size suitable for younger children or those with smaller heads.
This charming hat is crafted on straight knitting needles, giving it a classic look with a seam that adds a touch of character. It's an excellent project for knitters of various skill levels, and it makes a wonderful gift or a stylish accessory for the colder months.
Yarn Recommendation: This pattern specifically utilizes #4 medium worsted yarn (10-ply), which strikes a great balance between warmth and comfort.
Needles Required: For the brim, you’ll need US #7 (4.5mm) straight needles. For the body of the hat, US #9 (5.5mm) straight needles are required, ensuring your hat has enough stretch and structure.
Gauge Information: Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for the perfect fit. This pattern has a gauge of approximately 4 stitches and 5 rows per 1” using size #9 needles, and about 4.5 stitches and 6 rows per 1” on size #7 needles.
If you prefer to work with circular needles, you can easily adapt this pattern. Simply eliminate the first and last stitches of each row, as they are designated for the seam. You will also need to make adjustments for the even rounds, ensuring they appear on the right side of the work for a seamless finish.
Whether you're knitting for yourself or a loved one, this versatile hat pattern offers both warmth and style. Get started today and enjoy a creative and rewarding knitting experience!
