Seaford Hat
Introducing the Seaford Hat, an exquisite accessory perfect for showcasing your creativity with hand-dyed yarn! This large-scale cable hat is designed specifically for my friend JoAnnie to highlight her stunning Malabrigo Rios overdyed yarn. Not only does this pattern feature a beautiful hat, but it also includes a matching cowl and fingerless mitts for a chic, coordinated look. Elevate your winter wardrobe with this stylish and cozy ensemble.
Finished Size: The Seaford Hat measures 18 inches around when unstretched, 23 inches when stretched, and has a height of 8.75 inches, making it a versatile fit for most adults.
Yarn: Crafted from luxurious Malabrigo Rios, a premium yarn made of 100% Superwash Merino wool, this pattern uses approximately 110 yards of yarn from a 210-yard skein. The sample was beautifully knit in the shade Aguas, which showcases the rich color variations characteristic of Malabrigo Rios.
Needles: You’ll need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or 16” circular needles in size 6 US (4.00 mm) or a size that helps you achieve the desired gauge for this project, ensuring that your Seaford Hat fits perfectly.
Gauge: To achieve the best results, aim for a gauge of 18 stitches and 24 rows per 4 inches in blocked stockinette, knitted in the round. This will ensure that your hat not only looks great but also keeps you warm during the chilly months.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to take on a new project, the Seaford Hat pattern, along with the matching cowl and fingerless mitts, is a fantastic addition to your knitting repertoire. Start your project today and create a stunning handmade accessory that will surely impress!
