The Zoel Hat is a very soft and delicate hat knit using laceweight mohair yarn. It is a great pattern to get familiar with using this type of yarn. Because of the simple two-row lace, this pattern not only lets the yarn shine but also makes for a wonderful portable project.
Sizes and Finished Measurements: This hat is available in 3 sizes: S (M, L). In the pictures, the M sized hat is worn with 7.5 cm (3 inches) of positive ease. Finished size at brim: 55 (60, 65) cm, 21 1⁄2 (23 1⁄2, 25 1⁄2) inches. Length from brim to crown: 20 cm, 7 3⁄4 inches.
The brim to crown measurement can easily be increased for a slouchier effect in the finished hat.
Skills required: The Zoel Hat is worked in the round starting at the garter stitch brim. Stitches used include knit, purl, yo, k2tog and the double decrease sl1, k2tog, psso. The pattern is suitable for the intermediate knitter.
