Beginner Intermediate Pattern
The Van Haven Hat is a slouch fit, quick, fun, unisex, project. It is worked flat, seamed together and the top is sewn closed. The stitches used create an interesting texture. The pattern is written so that you can use any yarn weight and adjust to size by measurements. The yarn I used is Malabrigo Rios, 210 yards (100 grams) per skein of worsted weight merino superwash wool. 1 skein of color Coco was used for the ribbed band. Approximately ⅓ of the skein was used. 1 skein of the color Marte was used for the body of the hat. I used the entire skein. I used approx 280 yards total of my yarn. Circumference = 20 inches. Length = 9.25 inches. My finished hat fits a men’s 23 inch head. I used a H8/5mm hook. My gage was 8 herringbone hdc x 6 rows = 2 x 2. You’ll also need scissors, stitch markers and a darning needle.
