Weathering the Storm Hat

Discover the charm of the Weathering the Storm hat, a beautifully crafted pattern that combines simple repeated cables with ribbing to perfectly showcase a stunning, complex colorway. This versatile design is not just limited to the hat; a coordinating cowl and fingerless mitts are also available, making it a perfect accessory set for chilly days.

Finished Size: Available in three sizes to fit a variety of head circumferences: 20.8”, 22.4”, and 24” around, with a cozy height of 8.75”. This makes it an ideal option for both adults and teenage knitters looking to explore their creativity.

Yarn Used: For this project, we recommend Fairy Tale Yarn Co. Unicorn Tweedy, featuring a luxurious blend of 85% Superwash Merino and 15% Donegal Nep for added texture. The yarn comes in 246 yards (3.5 oz) skeins, and the sample shown is knit in the enchanting colorway called **Druid Snowstorm**. The medium sample requires approximately 125 yards, ensuring you'll have enough yarn for your project.

Needles Required: This pattern calls for a set of five double-pointed needles or your preferred method for knitting in the round. We suggest size 5 US (3.75 mm) needles, but make sure to select a size that allows you to obtain the correct gauge for best results.

Gauge Information: Achieve a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows in 4” of blocked stockinette in the round. It's also important to note that the pattern requires 8 stitches and 8 rows in 1” of the blocked pattern to maintain the design's integrity.

Note: If you desire a longer hat, feel free to work more repeats of the chart before proceeding with the instructions as written. Please keep in mind that altering the length may affect the overall yardage used, so plan accordingly. The sample displayed is crafted exactly as described in this pattern guide.
