SULA Hat Knitting Pattern by Olga Begak

Discover the cozy charm of the SULA hat, a beautifully crafted knitting pattern designed by the talented Olga Begak. Perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters, this pattern is ideal for creating a stylish accessory that can be worn throughout the colder months.

SIZE: Adult — 22–24” / 56–60 cm circumference. This size makes it a versatile option for most adult head sizes, providing a snug yet comfortable fit.

YARN: For this project, you can use any DK or light worsted weight yarn of your choice. I personally recommend DROPS Alpaca yarn, as I utilized 2 strands: 183 yards / 50 g in the main color and an additional 92 yards / 25 g in the contrasting color. This combo not only delivers warmth but also adds a pleasing texture to your finished hat!

GAUGE: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 4” × 4” / 10 cm × 10 cm, equating to 20 stitches and 24 rows in stockinette stitch. Ensuring you meet this gauge is key to producing a well-fitting and nicely shaped hat.

NEEDLES: For this pattern, you will need circular or double-pointed knitting needles in sizes US 3–4 / 3–3.5 mm. These needle sizes are essential for creating the intricate pattern and maintaining the structure of your hat.

Whether you're gifting it to a loved one or treating yourself, the SULA hat is a delightful project that showcases your knitting skills. Explore the joys of knitting with this easy-to-follow pattern, and enjoy the satisfaction of crafting a beautiful hat that is both functional and fashionable. Happy knitting!
