Pattern Northern Lights Hat

Pattern Northern Lights Hat knitting pattern

The Pattern Northern Lights Hat is designed for BC Garn Northern Lights, a blend of 51% acrylic and 49% wool. This combination ensures warmth and comfort, making it ideal for winter accessories. With a length of 875 meters per skein, you’ll have ample yarn to create your unique designs. Understanding the gauge of this pattern—16 stitches and 24 rows over 10 cm—will help you achieve the perfect fit.

Before you start your project, consider the recommended needle sizes: 3.5 mm and 5.5 mm for circular needles, and 5.5 mm for double-pointed needles. The choice of needle is crucial for achieving the correct density, especially since wool does not perform well with overly tight knitting.

Care

For best results, wash your finished hat using a gentle lanolin soap. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric; instead, press it gently with a towel to remove excess water. Lay flat to dry, reshaping as necessary.
