Squirrel Hat
Introducing our delightful adult-sized hat knitting pattern featuring two adorable squirrels and intricate cables adorned with two sets of acorns. This charming design is perfect for animal lovers and those who appreciate unique, eye-catching accessories. The sample hats were beautifully crafted using Cascade Yarns Cherub DK in a crisp white and Hayfield Kimono in a vibrant orange, making for a striking combo that stands out in any season.
Our detailed pattern is tailored for a single size that fits heads measuring approximately 22-24 inches (56-61 cm) in diameter, accommodating a wide range of adult sizes. You will need around 145 yards (132 meters) of yarn, so plan to have a second ball handy to ensure you don’t run out while creating this stunning piece.
The hat is worked seamlessly in the round, which makes it a great project for knitters looking to enhance their skills with circular knitting techniques. We recommend using a set of 16-inch (40 cm) circular needles for the main body of the hat, along with a set of double-point needles in the same size for shaping the top. This optimal combination helps achieve a perfect fit and a polished finish.
Whether you’re creating a cozy gift for a friend or adding a whimsical touch to your own winter wardrobe, this squirrel and acorn hat pattern is sure to be a favorite. Download it today and start knitting your way to a unique accessory that combines practicality with playful design!
