Snowflake hat

Snowflakes are truly enchanting! What better way to keep your head warm during winter activities than to adorn it with a beautiful band of crystalline snowflakes? A little bit of stranded work, along with our easy-to-follow instructions, and you'll be ready to hit the slopes for skiing, snowboarding, or a fun day of sledding!

This delightful 3-color stranded hat pattern is expertly crafted to be knitted from the bottom up in the round, making it a fantastic project for knitters of all skill levels. Start by casting on your stitches and then follow the detailed color chart while engaging in increases and decreases as specified throughout the process. For a playful finish, you may choose to add a large pom-pom to the top once you’ve completed the hat, or leave it as is for a more streamlined look.

A little note about gauge: Baby Alpaca Aire is indeed delightfully airy and can be easily compressed. If you opt to knit with a standard Aran yarn, such as Nepal by Drops, you may achieve a gauge of approximately 23 stitches on a 4.0mm needle. This important detail ensures that your finished hat fits perfectly!

This snowflake hat pattern is not just a beautiful accessory, but also a cozy addition to your winter wardrobe. Whether you are making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one, it's bound to bring warmth and joy during the cold months.
