Vintage china
Discover the beauty of knitting with our DK stranded hat pattern featuring a custom-designed motif that brings visual delight, reminiscent of traditional china patterns. This elegant design incorporates a charming spoked motif on the crown, making it not just a hat, but a piece of art!
This pattern is crafted specifically for colorwork enthusiasts and provides a seamless experience. It includes clear charts for the intricate colorwork pattern on the hat's rise, along with detailed crown decreases. We have made the crown decreases accessible by offering both a line-by-line written guide and a visual chart. Additionally, you will find helpful links to tutorials covering various techniques, such as the cast-on method and more, ensuring that everyone, from beginners to advanced knitters, can enjoy this project. The hat is worked from the bottom up in the round, utilizing the magic loop technique for the crown decreases, although you are welcome to use your preferred method for knitting small circumferences.
For this project, I chose Adriafil Mirage for the main color (MC) and Jamieson and Smith's Double Knitting yarn for the complementary blue color (CC). However, feel free to get creative with your color choices! You can substitute any wool or acrylic yarns you have on hand. I've suggested a suitable blue to pair with the MC in Mirage, along with two alternative color options in another yarn. Remember, you only need two colors in the same yarn type to create this stunning design!
This beautiful DK stranded hat pattern is perfect for a range of sizes. Here’s what you will need: for adult S size, approximately 115m (126 yards) of MC and 54m (59 yards) of CC. For adult M-L size, gather around 150m (164 yards) of MC and 65m (71 yards) of CC. Get ready to elevate your knitting skills and keep warm in style with this delightful hat!
