Bobby Hat by Truly Myrtle
What Is Being Made
Bobby is a knitted hat designed by Truly Myrtle, an independent designer. This project creates a cosy, slightly slouchy rounded hat with a flattering fit, perfect for keeping warm during outdoor adventures. The hat features a decorative crown with subtle ribbing that complements a gently-fitted ribbed brim, making it both functional and visually appealing.
Garment Specifications
The Bobby hat is available in three sizes to fit various head circumferences:
- Small: 18–20 inches (45.5–51 cm)
- Medium: 21–22 inches (53.5–56 cm)
- Large: 23–24 inches (58.5–61 cm)
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
Bobby incorporates several accessible knitting techniques suitable for intermediate-level knitters. The hat features bobbles scattered throughout the main body, adding texture and visual interest while remaining quick and easy to execute. The design includes ribbing as a key structural element, appearing both on the brim for a fitted finish and on the decorative crown. This combination of bobbles and ribbed sections creates a balanced, dimensional fabric that is both warm and attractive.
The slightly slouchy silhouette is achieved through the rounded shaping of the crown, which works in harmony with the fitted ribbed brim to create a flattering profile that suits various face shapes.
Materials and Yarn Requirements
Bobby is designed to work with aran weight yarn, requiring approximately 110 yards (100 meters) for the Small size, 137 yards (125 meters) for the Medium size, and 159 yards (145 meters) for the Large size.
The pattern recommends Apollo or La Bella yarn by Great Ocean Road Woollen Mill, both of which are merino and alpaca blends. These natural fiber blends provide excellent warmth and softness, ideal for a cosy hat worn close to the face and ears. The yarn specifications indicate approximately 137 yards per 100 grams.
Project Difficulty and Suitability
Rated as an intermediate difficulty project, Bobby is described as quick and simple, making it perfect for adventurous beginners and experienced knitters seeking a satisfying, fast-to-complete project. The straightforward bobble technique and ribbed stitch work combine to create an engaging knit that delivers results without excessive complexity.
