Sydney Hat
Introducing the Sydney Smart Ribbed Hat, an expertly crafted watch cap designed for both men and women. This unique and stylish hat features an extra-long length that creates a wide rolled brim, allowing for two cozy layers to cover your ears. Perfect for chilly days, the Sydney hat combines both functionality and fashion.
The design showcases alternating ribs with a star-shaped decreasing at the top, ensuring a smooth, unbroken rib pattern all the way through. The brim is intentionally constructed to display the "right" side of the rib on the outside, giving your knitwear a polished and refined look.
To fit comfortably, the Sydney Smart Ribbed Hat is available in sizes for teens, women, and adult men. The size options include: 10.5 x 16.5-22 inches and 11 x 18-25 inches, making it versatile enough to fit a variety of head sizes. This hat is not only stylish but also practical for anyone seeking warmth and comfort during colder months.
For this hat, you will need just one skein of Ultra Alpaca worsted yarn, which measures 215 yards per 100 grams, featuring a blend of 50% alpaca and 50% wool in the beautiful shade of #6206 Lt. Gray. Furthermore, you’ll require US size 5 (3.75mm) 16” circular needles, US size 6 (4mm) 16” circular needles, and double-point needles—or any sizes necessary to achieve the desired gauge.
Speaking of gauge, ensure you achieve 20 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches in stockinette stitch for the perfect fit. If you want to explore additional yarn options, we suggest trying out Cascade 220, which can offer a variety of colors and softness.
