Herfst hat knitting pattern

Every fall season I love looking at all the fallen leaves on the ground. I just love their colours and shapes. These leaves are the inspiration for the Herst Hat (Herfst means Fall in Dutch).

Materials needed:

• Maximum 6 stitch markers plus a different one to mark the beginning of round
• Darning needle
• Scissors
• Optional: pompom maker or a readymade pompom

Sizes:

1 (child, fits 30 to 48 cm / 12 to 19”)
2 (teen / adult small, fits 37 to 52 cm / 14.5 to 20.5”)
3 (adult normal, fits 44 to 56 cm / 17.25 to 22”)
4 (adult large, fits 52 to 61 cm / 20.5 to 24”)
Depending on the size you want to knit you’ll need about 100 - 200m / 109 to 218 yds for the main colour and 25 - 100m / 17 - 109 yds of contrast colour yarn, both in DK weight yarn. You’ll need a little extra for a pompom (optional).
