Warm Tweedy Adult Hats

These hats are really warm as they are made by knitting two or even three yarns together.
A great stash-buster !!

Warm Tweedy Adult Hats





Warm Tweedy Adult Hat

Use 2 strands of DK yarn (8ply) knitted together ~ or any combination of yarns to make a total of 16ply .

This gives a nice ‘tweedy’ look

I used 1 strand of DK plus 2 strands of 4ply

7 ½ mm needles


Child's Hat ~ cast on 49sts,                        Teen’s Hat ~ cast on 57sts,  
Women’s Hat  ~ cast on 65sts,                  Man’s Hat ~ cast on 73sts

Work 8 rows in k1,p1 rib

Continue in pattern ~

1st Row:  K1, *k3, p1, repeat from * to end

2nd Row:  K2, *p1, k3 repeat from * last 3sts, p1, k2

Repeat these two pattern rows until around 5½ " for child, 6” for teen, 7” for woman, 8” for man ~ ending after a 1st row has been completed

Shape Crown

1st Row:  K2, p1, *k3tog, p1, k3, p1, repeat from * to last 6 sts, k3tog, p1, k2

2nd Row:  P1, * k2, p1, repeat from * to end

3rd Row:  K2, *p1, k1, p1, k3, repeat from * to last 5sts, p1, k1, p1, k2

4th Row:  K2tog, k3, *k3tog, k3, repeat from * to last 2sts, k2tog

5th Row:  K1, *p1, k1, repeat from * to end              

6th Row:  Knit across row

7th Row:  P1, *p2tog, repeat from * to end             

8th Row:  K2tog across row, k1                                   

Break off the yarns, leaving a long ‘tail’

Thread the tail through the remaining 5sts, and pull up tightly. 

Sew up the hat. Darn away loose ends.

    Thanks for the pattern. I have used a similar pattern, but it was in only one size. So this is really useful.

    Thank you so much for this pattern. The tweedy effect is great.
    I will be knitting for the women's shelter this year so the different sizes will be greatly appreciated.

    The pattern looks easy, but what size circular needles are you using?

      Hi Kathy B - I used flat needles - but there would be no problem in using a circular needle .......

    About how many yards of yarn does one hat take?

    Here in the U. S. there is no 7 5 mm needle. and we would either have to go down one size to a size 10 1/2 needle or up one size to an 11, as your UK size would be a 1, which here would be used with very fine yarn to make socks.

      I hadn't 7.5 needles either, so used 8mm. It worked out fine . I think you could also go down a half size and it would be okay - up or down would depend upon how tight your tension is.

    Any advice on scaling down for a child?

    The stitch count that you give whilst shaping the crown only applies to one size, but you don't indicate which one.

    Marianna .. I have to agree with Dorothy (16/2/14) and say I LOVE your patterns also. They are so well written, easy to understand and easy to do. Thank you so much for sharing these great patterns. I have made quite a few now for charity (Cancer unit at Mater Hospital - Newcastle Australia) and still going. Thanks again. xoxox
