Struan's brother's hat

Discover the charming allure of Struan's Brother's Hat, a delightful knitting pattern that perfectly embodies the spirit of fraternal twins! Designed for Struan and his brother Andrew, this thematic hat features a unique stranded colourwork pattern, ideal for those seeking a fun and stylish accessory. While the patterning on both hats is the same, Struan's focuses on vibrant colourwork, whereas his brother's hat showcases a textured stitch design. Available in five sizes, ranging from Baby (14" hat circumference) to Large Adult (22" hat circumference), Struan's Brother's Hat is crafted in a luxurious DK yarn and knitted in the round. The stranded colourwork is worked in an engaging stocking stitch, allowing knitters to enjoy the process while creating a beautifully intricate design. Capture the warmth and personality of this hat while using a maximum of two colours per round, making it a visually appealing project for knitters of all skill levels. The recommended tension for this pattern is 22 stitches and 28 rows over a 4 inches (10 cm) square, measured specifically over stranded colourwork. It's essential to note that all sizes refer to the circumference of the hat when unstretched. For the best fit, allow around 2 inches (5 cm) of negative ease for each size. If you're feeling adventurous, try incorporating three colours as shown in our sample. For a stunning final product, you'll need up to 80 yards of Colour 1, and up to 45 yards each of Colour 2 and Colour 3. Elevate your knitting repertoire with Struan's Brother's Hat today and create a memorable gift for the special twins in your life! Your next cozy knitting project awaits.
