Sun Peak Hat
Introducing the ultimate winter accessory: the Double-Thick Cuff Hat with Embedded Ear Flaps! This intricately designed hat combines warmth and comfort, making it a must-have for chilly days. Starting with a provisional cast-on, this cozy hat is expertly crafted down to the ears and then back up, ensuring extra insulation and snugness. The innovative asymmetrical short rows are incorporated halfway through the cuff, providing added length around the ears to keep them warm and protect your eyes from cold drafts—all without needing to constantly adjust the hat.
This stylish hat comfortably rests at about 17 inches unstretched and is designed to fit a head circumference of approximately 23 inches. It also accommodates slightly larger head sizes, ensuring a versatile fit for a range of wearers. Whether you're heading out for a winter walk or just need to stay cozy indoors, this hat is your go-to accessory!
To begin crafting this beautiful hat, you will need US 9 (5.5mm) needles for creating the double-thick cuff and for the decreases at the top of the hat. For the decorative braid just above the cuff, grab your US 7 (4.5mm) needles. For the cable design in the main body of the hat, you'll need US 10.5 (6.5mm) needles. These can be 16-inch circulars, circulars long enough for the magic loop technique, or double-pointed needles (DPNs). Get ready to elevate your knitting skills with this delightful and functional pattern!
