Foggy Hat
This beautiful hand-knit design is inspired by the enchanting grey foggy winter mornings in Frankfurt, capturing the essence of winter. Many of us can relate to that cozy yet melancholic feeling that winter brings, making this pattern a heartfelt addition to your seasonal wardrobe.
The pattern is thoughtfully crafted for two sizes, ensuring inclusivity in your knitting projects. It includes size XS-S, designed to fit head circumferences of 48-56 cm (18-22 inches), and size M-L, which accommodates sizes 56-60 cm (22-24 inches). For those who wish to customize further, this pattern can be easily adjusted to suit larger or smaller sizes, allowing you to create a perfect fit for everyone.
Featuring a stylish brim length of 6.5 cm (2.9 inches) and a total height of 21 cm (8 inches) from the turned-up brim edge to the crown, this design is not only functional but also chic. To add a playful touch, a recommended pom-pom size of 6.5 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter will complete your winter accessory beautifully.
For your knitting needs, we recommend using three shades of Nepal yarn from Drops, which consists of 65% wool and 35% alpaca (75 meters in 50 grams). Alternatively, you can select any similar non-superwash yarn that matches the gauge. For this pattern, you'll need approximately 80 grams of Color 1, under 20 grams of Color 2, and under 10 grams of Color 3.
The knitting needles required include size 4.0 mm (6 US) 50 cm circular needles, size 4.5 mm (7 US) 50 cm circular needles, and optional 4.5 mm (7 US) double-pointed needles (DPNs) for working the crown. A 4 mm crochet hook, stitch marker, and pom-pom maker (optional) will also assist you in achieving the best results.
The gauge for this pattern is set at 21 stitches per 10 cm (4 inches) with the 4.5 mm (7 US) needles in stockinette stitch featuring a beautiful fair isle motif. This makes it essential to check your gauge to ensure your finished product fits just right.
