A classic beanie that looks good on men and women. Comes in five sizes from baby to adult large.
Pattern Inspiration
I recently stopped off in San Sebastián en route to Portugal. Inspiration for this pattern came whilst sat in one of the many bars eating Pintxos! Some of our favourites were the sea urchins. This hat is made to resemble a sea urchin shell, which can be ordered in nearly all of the bars there. And afterwards you can go for a swim in the sea, heaven!
Pattern Overview
The San Sebastián hat is a delight to knit and works up very quickly as every other round is a knit round. The hat is worked in the round from the bottom to the top. The brim is folded twice so that it is eventually made up of three layers of fabric. This is super cosy to wear and gives a beautiful aesthetic as the cast on edge is hidden inside the brim. Once the brim has been worked to the desired length, the crown is shaped using a series of evenly spaced decreases, and voila! The hat comes in five sizes from toddler to large adult.
Sizes: baby/toddler (6 months - 2 years), junior (2 - 10 years), tweens and small adults, adult medium to large, adult extra large
Finished Hat Circumferences (cm): 36, 41, 46, 52, 57
Recommended ease: approximately 5 cm negative ease
To fit the range of head circumferences (cm): 38-43, 43-48, 48-54, 54-59, 59-63
Height of brim once rolled up (cm): 4.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6, 6.5
Gauge: 24 sts / 10 cm in stitch pattern and 34 rounds / 10 cm
Needles: 3.5 mm circular needles of circumference 25 cm, five 3.5 mm DPNs of length 15 cm
Yarn: 100g DK weight yarn, approximately 230m per 100g. I would suggest Knit by Numbers DK by John Arbon Textiles or Double Sunday by Sandnes Garn or my own plant dyed organic merino DK by Thread of the Earth if any is available. You will need approximately 119, 162, 195, 215, 241 metres for each size. For the adult large size you may need to consider buying two skeins of yarn, depending on how generous your skeins are. If the skeins are exactly 100g, I would opt for getting two to be on the safe side.
Samples shown here are knitted as follows: baby/toddler (pink with speckles): BFL DK (47g) by Thread of the Earth in colourway ‘opal’, tweens and small adults (brown): 100% organic merino DK (77g) by Thread of the Earth in colourway ‘deep forest’, adult medium (green): organic merino DK (85g) by Thread of the Earth in colourway ‘Moss’, adult large (yellow): BFL DK (96g) by Thread of the Earth in colourway ‘elderflower’.
