Smokestack Hats - Beanie & Slouch styles
Introducing the Smokestack Beanie and Slouch Hat, a beautifully designed lacy “faux cable” hat that is part of the exclusive Smokestack Collection. This stylish accessory is perfect for coordinating with our Fingerless Mitts and Cowls, creating a cohesive winter wardrobe. The unique mirror-image lace “cables” evoke the imagery of smoke plumes gently rising from a warm chimneystack on a chilly winter’s day, making this hat a must-have for colder months.
With two crown options—beanie and slouch styles—the Smokestack hat features an easy-to-memorize and visually striking lace pattern that flows seamlessly from a cozy ribbed brim. Best of all, this project works up quickly, utilizing less than one skein of DK or worsted weight yarn. No cable needle is required, making it a hassle-free knitting experience!
Designed for both novice and advanced knitters alike, the Smokestack pattern includes comprehensive instructions that are provided in both written and charted formats. Knitted seamlessly in the round from the brim upwards, this hat is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their knitting skills while enjoying the process.
