Lovi Hat

Lovi hat was designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind. It features a wide rib texture and a double-layer brim that’s neatly attached to the cast-on edge. That means it stays exactly where it’s meant to, no shifting or slouching. The pattern includes **five sizes and two yarn weights** and is equally well-suited to neutral basics or pops of color. Whether you want a quick, satisfying knit or a wardrobe staple with a bit of flair, this hat delivers. Choose between two views:  A, a clean, minimalist version that lets the ribbing and dramatic crown shaping shine, or B, a more textured version with gentle garter stripes that add a little interest to the fabric. **SIZES** 1 Baby to fit head circumference of 43–48.5 cm / 17–19 inches 2 Junior to fit head circumference of 48.5–54 cm / 19–21 inches 3 Adult Small to fit head circumference of 54–56 cm / 21–22 inches 4 Adult Medium to fit head circumference of 56–59 cm / 22–23 inches 5 Adult Large to fit head circumference of 59–64 cm / 23–25 inches **YARN AND YARDAGE** **DK weight** = 50, 100 (100, 100, 100) g or 120, 140, (160, 175, 200) m / 130, 155 (175, 190, 220) of Sandnes Garn Double Sunday (100 % merino, 50 g = 108 m / 118 yards) or similar DK weight yarn. **Aran weight** = 100, 100 (100, 150, 150) g or 100, 120 (150, 175, 200) m / 110, 130 (165, 190, 220) yards of Novita Syli Merino yarn (100 % merino, 50 g = 80 m / 87 yards) or similar Aran weight yarn. **SUGGESTED NEEDLES** DK = 3 mm and 3.5 mm needles Aran = 4 mm and 4.5 mm needles **GAUGE** DK = 22 sts x 30 rows of k7, p1 -ribbing worked in the round on bigger needles (suggested 3.5 mm) is 10 cm x 10 cm / 4 in x 4 in after blocking Aran = 19 sts x 26 rows of k7, p1 -ribbing worked in the round on bigger needles (suggested 4.5 mm) is 10 cm x 10 cm / 4 in x 4 in after blocking If you love giving handknitted gifts, this pattern is a wonderful addition to your library.
