Tempest Hat

Get ready to brave any storm in style with our cozy and chunky knitted hat, complete with thick earflaps for added warmth. This hat features a beautiful garter stitch design that not only looks great but also creates thick, cushy earflaps to keep your ears super warm during the cold months. You can easily tie the ends under your chin for a snug fit or on the crown for a trendy look that suits your personal style.

Perfect for all skill levels, this knitting pattern is available in three sizes: Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L). The hat length without earflaps measures 7” (18 cm) for size S, 7.5” (19 cm) for size M, and 8” (20.5 cm) for size L. The un-stretched circumference of the hat is 18” (45.5 cm) for size S, 20” (51 cm) for size M, and 22” (56 cm) for size L, allowing for a comfortable stretch of 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) to ensure a perfect fit.

For this project, you will need 2 skeins of La Brebis Fluffy Wool (60 yards/55 meters, 100 grams, 100% Peruvian Highland Wool) in the stunning Color Storm. Alternatively, you can use any super bulky yarn that meets the gauge requirements, which is 120 yards/110 meters in total.

You will require US 13 (9mm) knitting needles to complete this pattern. The gauge measures 9 stitches and 12 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch, ensuring your hat will turn out beautifully.
