This is an intermediate-level knitting pattern, so you'll need to have some essential knitting skills to tackle it. The required skills include: Cast on, Knit, Purl, Circular Knitting, Color Knitting, and Bind off. All measurements in the pattern are provided in both US and metric units, ensuring ease of use for all knitters.
The hat is knitted seamlessly in one piece, resulting in a cozy, continuous design. Size: The finished hat will fit a circumference of 20”–22” / 52–55 cm, making it a versatile accessory that can accommodate different head sizes.
Yarn Requirements: You can use any DK/8 ply weight yarn for this project. For the sample, I chose the lovely DROPS Soft Tweed yarn in a blend of beautiful colors: 57 yds / 20 g off white color 01 — A, 30 yds / 10 g lemon pie color 13 — B, 43 yds / 15 g carrot cake color 18 — C, and 43 yds / 15 g raven color 09 — D. Feel free to mix and match your own color combinations to create a personalized masterpiece!
Gauge: To ensure your hat turns out just right, keep an eye on your gauge: Aim for a swatch of 4” × 4” / 10 cm × 10 cm with 21 stitches and 28 rows in stockinette stitch.
Recommended Needles: You'll need circular or double-pointed needles in sizes US 3–4 / 3–3.5 mm to bring this hat to life. Ensure you have the right tools on hand for a smooth knitting experience.
