Argos – a knitting masterpiece that weaves together the elegance of lace, the charm of cables, and the textural delight you’ve been yearning for. Brace yourself for an extraordinary blend of style and functionality that transcends your expectations!

But here’s the kicker – Argos goes beyond the ordinary. The brim isn’t just a mere detail; it’s a mesmerising creation in itself. Ordinary ribbing? Not for us! Get ready to captivate onlookers as you step out with a hat that boasts an equally enchanting brim.

Don’t hesitate – seize the moment! Grab your needles and dive into the fascinating world of Argos. Unleash your creativity, explore boundless possibilities, and elevate your hat game to unparalleled heights. The time is now – let Argos redefine your knitting experience!

Worked from the bottom up, Argos allows you to craft a perfectly fitting hat seamlessly in the round. The construction involves starting with the brim, progressing to the body, and culminating with shaping the crown. As you approach the final stages of the crown, you’ll need to switch from using 16” / 40 cm circular needles to either the magic loop method or double-pointed needles, depending on your preference for tackling smaller circumferences.

A notable feature of this hat pattern is its versatility in accommodating different sizes. For the pattern motif and crown, there are both written directions and charts available. After casting on, you’ll work independently with your preferred directions.
