Free Men’s Hat Knitting Pattern

Skill Level: Easy

Adult/Man (20-24 inches head circumference).
Hat lying flat and unstretched – Height = 10.5 inches / Width – 8 inches.
Cowl – Height = 14 inches.

Gauge: 10 x 10 cm /4 x 4 inches = 14 sts and 18 rounds in 2×2 ribbing.

Materials:

Yarn

Bulky yarn 05 knit with a single strand or two strands of DK knit together.
Yarn in dark grey – I used a brand called Delfino (Delfino Μοντέρνο – 50g/133m) which I found in a local yarn shop here in Corfu, in colour-way 6260.
I used around 2 x 50g/133m skeins for the hat and 4 x 50g/133m skeins for the cowl.
I also used 2 strands of yarn knit together, so it would have a chunkier look.
Any yarn suitable for 8mm (US 11) needles will be ok or if you use 2 strands of DK (for 4mm needles (US size 6) yarn knit together.
A good alternative for a DK (4mm / US 6) yarn would be Rowan pure wool worsted in the colour-way Granite 111.
