The Cozy Mood Winter Hat Pattern

It seems winter has come early this year. We’ve already had below freezing temperatures and a bit of snow. The Cozy Mood Winter Hat will be worn earlier than I thought. It is warm and cozy and knit with Lion Brand® Wool Ease® Thick and Quick yarn. The yarn is a super bulky weight so the hat can be completed in a short time.  

The Cozy Mood Winter Hat is knit bottom up and in the round. It begins with a 1×1 ribbing in Colorway 1  yarn, followed by several rounds in the linen knit stitch pattern for the body of the hat. It’s a two round pattern with alternating Colorway 1 yarn and Colorway 2 yarn. Decreases in linen stitch pattern are made for the crown and the hat is then finished with a pom pom. 

Materials Needed for The Cozy Mood Winter Hat:
Yarn: Lion Brand® Wool Ease® Thick and Quick yarn in the Fisherman (Colorway 1) and Hudson Bay (Colorway 2)
Knitting Needles: US #10.5 for 1×1 ribbing and US #13 16-inch circular needles for the rest of the hat; US #13 knitting needles for the cable cast on 
Tapestry needle to weave in ends

Gauge: 9 stitches / 6.5 rows in 4 inches in stockinette stitch pattern with US #13 knitting needles without blocking

The Winterland Hat Pattern

Where did 2022 go? I can’t believe this year is almost over. After a rough start to the year with illness due to covid (blogged here), I’ve been trying to catch up with all the goals I had for this year. Needless to say there will be some unfinished works in progress that will be completed in 2023. Knitting smaller projects such as hats and cowls are more enjoyable when other non-knitting things require our attention and time.   

The Winterland Hat is knit bottom up and in the round. It has a simple cable stitch pattern and is a light and warm hat for this time of the year.

The Winding Cable Hat Pattern

In August of 2019 as part of the #WNHyearofhatsKAL2019, I knit a hat I designed myself. It was knit with Lion Brand® Touch of Alpaca® yarn in the dusty blue colorway. I posted the finished hat in August 2019

August2019hat1

I liked the way the cable stitch pattern looked knit with this yarn but thought that the pattern could be improved. The hat pattern has lingered in my mind since 2019 so when I came across a different colorway of the same yarn in my stash this year, I had to knit “The Winding Cable Hat”. This hat has the same cable stitch pattern as the August 2019 KAL hat in addition to some new modifications. The Winding Cable Hat is knit bottom up in the round with a long brim that can be folded over and a simple, textured cable stitch pattern for the body of the hat.

Yarn: Lion Brand® Touch of Alpaca® yarn in the taupe colorway 
Knitting Needles: US #6 16-inch circular needles for 2×2 rib stitch pattern of the brim; US #7 16-inch circular needles for the body and crown shaping; and US #8 knitting needles for the cable cast on 
Tapestry needle to weave in ends
Cable Needle
Gauge: 5 stitches / 7 rows per inch in stockinette stitch with US #7 knitting needles
Size: Adult M 
Abbreviations:
K: Knit
P: Purl
pm: place marker
rm: remove marker
sm: slip marker

C4F: slip 2 stitches onto the cable needle and hold in front, K2 stitches on the circular needle then knit the 2 stitches on the cable needle.
C2F: slip 1 stitch onto the cable needle and hold in front, K1 stitch on the circular needle then knit the 1 stitch on the cable needle.

The Wistful Hat Pattern

wistfulhat_front
wistfulhat_top

I find knitting hats a great way to use up those single hanks of fingering weight sock yarn purchased at a yarn shop or at a craft festival. Although I could use these single hanks of sock yarn for knitting socks, I much prefer to knit hats, shawlettes or cowls with them. Hats are useful in keeping our heads warm, make wonderful gifts, are small enough projects to be knit quickly, and a great way to learn and explore the different knit stitch patterns and techniques.

I named this hat “The Wistful Hat” because I purchased the yarn a few years back from a yarn shop I had newly found but regrettably it is no longer there now. The Wistful Hat is knit bottom up and in the round. It’s knit holding two strands of the same yarn together with a simple textured knit stitch pattern for the body and crown shaping in stockinette stitch. The brim of the hat can be folded for extra warmth. 

Yarn:  Plymouth Yarn® Happy Feet 100 in color 0110 or any other colorway of choice
Knitting Needles: US #4 and US #5 circular needles for knitting the hat and US #6 knitting needles for the cable cast on 
Tapestry needle to weave in ends
Gauge:  6 stitches /  8.75 rows per inch in stockinette stitch with US #4 knitting needles
Size: Adult M/L 
Abbreviations:
K: Knit
P: Purl
pm: place marker

sm: slip marker
BOR: beginning of round
Ktbl: knit through the back loop

  • Cast on 128 stitches with two strands of yarn held together using the cable cast on method and with US #6 knitting needles.

The Comfy Hat Patterns

There are some knit stitch patterns that look just as good on the right side as they do on the wrong side. It is so with the twisted seed stitch knit pattern. So I knitted the Comfy Hats with this twisted seed stitch pattern, one with the right side on the outside and the other with the wrong side on the outside. The Lion Brand® Scarfie yarn is warm and comfortable making it the right hat to wear this time of the year. Both hats were knitted bottom up and in the round with a 1 x 1 rib knit stitch pattern folded cuff, a body with the twisted seed stitch pattern, and crown shaping. 

There are two patterns down below for the two hats. The patterns are mostly similar but with a few modifications. These patterns are only for an adult medium hat size. These hats have not been graded for different sizes but the pattern can be easily adapted to different sizes by increasing or decreasing the number of cast on stitches or by increasing or decreasing the number of the pattern repeats.
