Yseulte Hat
Explore the artistry of knitting with this beautifully designed hat, created explicitly for the Maryland Fiber Art Studio Tour in December 2019. This fashionable hat was initially crafted using Avalon Springs Farm Avalon Worsted yarn, but it is versatile enough to shine with yarns from our diverse selection of talented dyers! Pair it with a matching cowl and fingerless gloves, also available in our collection, for a complete and chic winter ensemble.
Finished Size: The hat fits comfortably at 18” around when unstretched, stretches to a cozy 23”, and stands 9” tall, making it a perfect accessory for everyone!
Yarn: This pattern features Avalon Springs Farm Pendragon Worsted, made from 100% Superwash Merino wool, which offers exceptional warmth and comfort. Each skein contains 200 yards/4ozs (in the stunning shade of Heart Flame). For this project, you will need approximately 110 yards, allowing for plenty of creativity with leftovers!
Consider exploring other fantastic yarn options, including Flying Goat Farm LiViLy, Dancing Leaf Farm Charleston, Wandering Wool Heights, or the exquisite handspun from Withers Wool Farm. Each of these alternatives will bring its own unique texture and character to your knitted masterpiece.
Needles: To bring this pattern to life, you will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or a 16” circular needle in size 6 US (4.00 mm). Feel free to adjust to a size that allows you to achieve the correct gauge!
Gauge: To ensure your hat fits perfectly, aim for a gauge of 16 stitches and 24 rows per 4” in blocked stockinette, knitted in the round. Proper gauge is essential for creating the ideal fit and overall look of this knit hat.
Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, this hat pattern is a delightful project that showcases the beauty of seasonal fibers and inspired design. Start your winter knitting journey today!
