This hat screams Florida Beach, love it
This is really pretty! Any suggestions for increasing the size? My head measured 24"
Continue increasing the crown until you have a 24″ circumference then work the rest of the hat pattern as written (you will just have a larger stitch count).
Hi, I’m not sure if my other comment came through but how can I make this to fit a smaller head and with a dk weight yarn? Thank you, I just LOVE this pattern!
What would I need to do to make this hat in a dk weight yarn for a small adult? Tyia!!
Is there a comparable yarn for this pattern? What does this yarn feel like?
This yarn is discontinued however it is 100% linen and sport weight for comparisons. This Knitpicks yarn might be a nice substitute: CotLin: #3 Dk weight 70% Tanguis Cotton, 30% Linen; 123 yds per 50gm skein; suggested needle size US 5 – 7. It comes in 44 colors and retails for $4.99 per skein. Link: https://shrsl.com/3fipx
Here is a another suggested yarn, from Ice Yarns: Linen 50% linen, 50% viscose, #2 sport weight yarn; 195 yds (171m) per 1.75oz (50g) ball; suggested needle size US 3. I think the drape and weight of this yarn would be comparable to Be So Fresh, Be So Serene and Be So Sporty Yarns. This yarn retails for $1.50 per ball and comes in 9 colors. http://bit.ly/3Nj84sA
