Sea Glass Stories
Discover a whimsical design akin to colorful treasures hidden on a sandy shoreline with this delightful hat pattern. Speckles and bobbles create a playful visual feast, adorning the simple yet elegant structure of the hat. As you work through this pattern, you'll enjoy crafting delicate interwoven cables that weave their own captivating tales from brim to crown. To elevate the overall design, top the hat off with a charming pompom for an added touch of pizzazz.
Size: This versatile pattern is designed to fit one size, accommodating a circumference of 54-56 cm/21-22”. The length from brim to the top measures approximately 22.5 cm/9”, making it perfect for various styles and preferences.
Yarn: For this project, you'll need just one skein of BFL Cash-Silk DK by La Bien Aimée. This luxurious yarn blend consists of 70% BFL wool, 20% silk, and 10% cashmere, providing an incredibly soft and cozy feel. Each skein boasts 229 m/250 yards for a total weight of 115 grams. The stunning colorway used in the sample is Direwolf Graffiti, which adds a unique splash to your finished hat.
Needles: To get started on this beautiful hat, gather a 4.0 mm/US #6 circular needle (at least 40 cm/16” long) and double-pointed needles (dpns), or choose a needle size that aligns with your gauge. You'll also need a 3.5 mm/US #4 circular needle (at least 40 cm/16” long) or dpns, which should be two sizes smaller than your gauge needles for optimal shaping.
Additional Supplies: Don't forget to equip yourself with a stitch marker, a cable needle for the intricate patterns, and a tapestry needle for seamless weaving of ends when finishing your new hat.
Gauge: For the best results, ensure your gauge is on point: aim for 23 stitches and 28 rounds over a 10 cm/4” square, using the 4.0 mm/US #6 needle while working in the round. Remember, taking the time to check your gauge upfront can save you time later — adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge.
