Snow Hat

This is a good basic pattern for knitting winter hats with a fold over brim that have a smooth fit towards the crown.

To fit (adult) head sizes: S, M/L, XL based on head circumference 54, 56-58 and 60 cm.

Materials needed:

• 150 gr or 110-150 meters super chunky wool.
• 7 mm circular needles (40 cm)
• 8 mm circular needles (40 cm)
• 4 x 8 mm double pointed needles
• wool darning needle
• markers

Gauge:
11 stitches x 15 rows on 8 mm needle = 10x10 cm

Finished measurements:
Height with folded brim: 21 cm
Circumference (unstretched): 25, 27, 29 cm

The hat is knitted on two 40 cm circular needles: 7 mm circular needle for the brim and 8 mm for the rest of the hat. The design has a gradual decrease which gives a smooth fit. I use Drops Snow for the hats which is a super chunky and soft wool giving it a pleasant feel. I would recommend same or similar wool.
