Whoopee! The Jughead Hat
Introducing the ultimate knitting pattern for a trendy sideways knit “whoopee” hat, inspired by the iconic style of Jughead Jones from the hit TV series, Riverdale. This versatile pattern offers two unique versions—one with seams at the back edge and crown, and a second seamless option that features expertly shaped crown using short row turns. Perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills, the seamless version requires familiarity with techniques such as provisional cast on and a three-needle bind-off.
Sizes Available: S (M, L) — suitable for teen/child, (woman, man).
Measurements: Circumference: (17, 19 ½, 22 ½) inches—crafted to fit snugly and comfortably on various head sizes.
Length: (unfolded): 9 (10, 11) inches, offering the perfect length for warmth and style.
Yarn Requirements: To complete this project, you will need approximately 180 (200, 220) yards of sport to DK weight wool. Choose from a variety of colors to personalize your hats! The Dark Grey sample was beautifully crafted using 2 skeins of Cascade 220 Sport, while the Light Grey sample was knitted with 2 skeins of Plymouth DK Merino Superwash. Both yarns ensure a cozy, warm finish that retains its shape and style.
Gauge: A precise gauge of 23 stitches and 40 rows equals 4 inches in garter stitch is essential to achieve the perfect fit and look for your hat.
Needle Size: Use US 5 (3.75mm) needles or adjust to achieve your desired gauge.
