Guell Hat by knitforsweet
What is Being Made
The Guell Hat is an advanced-level knitted hat designed by Natalie Pelykh. This project creates a fitted, sophisticated hat available in six size ranges, accommodating head circumferences from 46 cm to 62 cm (approximately 18 to 24.4 inches). The design features a refined aesthetic achieved through the use of luxury cashmere yarns in multiple colors, making it a premium accessory piece suitable for those seeking an elegant, high-quality handmade hat.
Techniques Used
The Guell Hat employs several advanced knitting techniques characteristic of professional-level hat construction. The pattern utilizes circular knitting on double-pointed or circular needles, a fundamental technique for creating seamless, tubular garments. The design incorporates color work through the use of multiple contrasting cashmere yarns, allowing for sophisticated pattern development. Advanced shaping techniques are employed to achieve proper hat fit and structure, requiring careful attention to gauge and stitch manipulation throughout the project. The pattern also includes blocking and stretching as part of the finishing process, which is essential for achieving the precise gauge and final dimensions specified in the design.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette stitch (st st) – the primary stitch used in rounds, created by knitting all stitches in every round to produce the characteristic smooth, V-patterned fabric
- k2tog-L (knit 2 together left-leaning) – a decrease stitch used for shaping the hat and creating refined decreases that lean in the appropriate direction for aesthetic purposes
Materials and Gauge
The Guell Hat is crafted from luxury cashmere yarns, ensuring softness and warmth. The main color utilizes Carriagi Cashmere, a 100% cashmere yarn with a yardage of 320 meters per 100 grams (350 yards per 3.5 ounces). Yardage requirements for the main color range from 30 grams to 80 grams depending on the chosen size. Two contrasting colors are worked from Botto Giuseppe Vintage, also 100% cashmere with a higher yardage of 650 meters per 100 grams (711 yards per 3.5 ounces), with 25 grams (0.9 ounces) required for each contrasting color.
The project calls for circular knitting needles in 2 mm (US0) and 3 mm (US2.5) sizes, or alternative needle sizes appropriate for achieving the specified gauge. Additional materials include a stitch marker for tracking rounds and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and finishing.
The gauge for this project is 34 stitches and 42 rows per round over 10 by 10 centimeters (4 by 4 inches) in Stockinette stitch on 3 mm (US2.5) needles, measured after blocking and stretching. Achieving accurate gauge is critical for this advanced pattern, as it directly affects the final fit and dimensions of the completed hat. The sport-weight cashmere yarns and fine needle sizes create a refined, lightweight fabric suitable for a luxury accessory.
