This hat was created as part of the Initiate Knit Design Challenge, hosted by Francoise Danoy of Aroha Knits. The goal of the challenge was to help people get their design ideas off the ground, and this lace and cable fingering-weight hat was the result!
For the inital prompt, I drew inspiration from the vertical lines of wrought-iron fencing and the leading of stained glass. The result is a hat that’s lightweight, but still warm, and a great layering piece.
The Wrought Mithril Hat is knit in the round from the brim up. The cable pattern and crown decreases are charted, with written instructions available as a secondary download. This pattern also has an accessible large print option that is compatible with screen-reading software. This option includes the written instruction.
The yarn that was used for the sample is Northbound Knits Merino/Silk Fingering. When looking for a substitute, most fingering-weight yarns would work well. I’d suggest wool or alpaca for a cold-weather hat, but you could also work it in cotton or linen for warmer weather.
