Fur Trimmed Pillbox Hat

A chic and multipurpose hat knit from the crown down to the brim, this hat is playfulness itself. It does not require any special yarn at any special gauge. Rather, it allows you to choose your own yarn, gauge, and special effect trim, and work with that. The Fur Stitch is explained thoroughly, and allows some freedom in the yarn chosen for it; you'll have many hours of enjoyment using up stash and planning yarn combination's.

Yarn Gauge is not crucial to this hat. Pick a soft yarn and knit it with a firm tension to enable the hat to stand and hold its shape. The amount of yarn required will vary depending on the gauge your yarn knits to. Yardage required is included in pattern. It varies from 120 meters to 300 meters depending on gauge.

Needles One set of five double-pointed needles (DPNs); 16” circular needles: one the same size as the DPNs and one a full mm smaller. Refer to the yarn ball-band to determine the size of needles. If you are a loose knitter, move down a size.
