Divine Hat by Amanda Scheuzger
What Is Being Made
Divine is an intermediate-level knitted hat designed by Amanda Scheuzger. This downloadable knitting pattern creates an adult-sized hat with a finished circumference of 18"/45.5 cm and a height of 8½"/23 cm, suitable for head sizes up to 22"/56 cm. The hat features a mosaic pattern created through strategic color changes and stitch techniques.
Yarn and Materials
Divine is knitted using ontheround Plush Bulky yarn, a superwash merino wool in a chunky weight. The pattern calls for two colors: the dark color (Divine Feminine) requires approximately 44 yards from 1 skein, and the light color (Rebel) requires approximately 54 yards from 1 skein. The total yardage needed is approximately 98 yards. This bulky-weight yarn works quickly, making the project ideal for crafters seeking faster completion times.
Needles and Notions
Knitters will need Size 10.5 US / 6.5 mm needles suitable for knitting in the round. The pattern recommends adjusting needle size as necessary to obtain the correct gauge. Essential notions include a stitch marker for tracking rounds, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and an optional pompom for finishing the crown.
Techniques and Stitches
Divine employs knitting in the round as its primary construction method, creating seamless fabric from cast-on to bind-off. The hat utilizes stockinette stitch as the foundation, combined with mosaic colorwork techniques that incorporate two colors to create visual pattern interest. Key stitches and abbreviations used throughout the pattern include:
- Knit (k) and purl (p) stitches for basic fabric construction
- Knit two together (k2tog) for decreasing stitches, essential for shaping the crown
- Slip stitches (sl) for mosaic pattern work and stitch manipulation
- Purlwise (pwise) slipping for maintaining pattern integrity
- Main color (MC) and contrast color (CC) changes to create the mosaic design
Gauge and Sizing
The pattern specifies a gauge of 14 stitches and 20 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch worked in the round. Achieving proper gauge is important for obtaining the correct finished size and for the mosaic pattern to display as intended. Crafters can intentionally knit at a tighter or looser gauge to adjust the final hat size, though the pattern notes that gauge adjustments will affect both the visual appearance of the mosaic pattern and the total yardage required.
Difficulty Level
Rated as intermediate difficulty, Divine requires familiarity with knitting in the round, basic decreasing techniques, and two-color mosaic colorwork. The pattern is accessible to knitters with foundational skills who are ready to explore color patterning techniques beyond basic stockinette.
