Seafield Hat

The Seafield Hat is a unisex, textured hat, knit in the round using Gansey-inspired stitches. It is first cousin to the Seafield sweater and second cousin Sea Whisper! ;)

Wear it slouchy or turn up the brim for a classic watch-cap fit.

Knit in the round from brim to crown, this adventurous beginner hat is worked with either two strands of yarn held together (a DK and a Lace), or a single strand of Worsted or Aran weight yarn. The lace silk mohair gives the hat extra snuggly-ness, whilst the single thicker yarn gives a strong stitch definition. It will definitely keep those cold sea breezes at bay.

It comes in four sizes including Child, Teen/ Small Adult, Medium Adult, and a Large Adult size.

Learn some new skills using a tubular 1 x 1 rib cast on (full video tutorial included). The pattern includes full written and charted instructions.
