Hat pattern

#1

I’m stuck with this amazing novelty yarn (I adore it), but can’t find anything to knit with it. The problem with it is that it’s thin, and almost every hat pattern I find online asks for worsted weight (or doesn’t give me a gauge…).

Please help me find a hat pattern for this yarn. I really have no problem if the hat is all opened up because I used too big needles for such a thin yarn.

I’d never wear lace, fair isle/intarsia/any colorwork won’t be done, berets/weird looking hats aren’t what I want…

Please, any suggestion would work :slight_smile:

Novelty yarn is best used for a simple pattern. Lace, cables and other types just don’t show so stick to stockinette or garter for best results.

Also you can carry it along with a lighter weight yarn…like DK (22 st over 10cm) and probably get a close enough weight to do a worsted weight hat.

How would it look doubled? Or you can carry it with a fingering or sport weight to make it thicker.

I found this hat. I’ll knit that with 4mm needles; the gauge shouldn’t be a problem :slight_smile: (thanks for the advice about no complicated patterns)
