Meet Clyde, the rebel sibling to our classic Forth Hat pattern! Perfect for using up scraps, this top-down pattern will have you casting on instantly.
The Clyde is the latest addition to our growing swatchless hat family, alongside Forth, Porty and viral bestseller Musselburgh. If you have been searching for a hat to truly make your own then look no further - the Clyde is perfect for getting into marls and experimenting with colourplay. A lover of scraps, it's the ideal design for using some of that handspun yarn that you have been saving. With a twist on the classic beanie, it features reverse stockinette knit inside out - which means that you can save yourself lots of purling!
Details
If you have raced through several Musselburgh's or are looking for a fun, new project to cast on, the Clyde Hat is for you. The pattern comes in 6 sizes and 11 gauges, meaning that whether you are knitting for yourself or as a gift, the Clyde hat fits all.
As with our other patterns in this range, the swatchless design begins at the centre top: the crown is shaped by increasing outward in 4 ‘compass point’ lines. When you’ve created enough fabric to do so you can simply measure your gauge on the project, and match it to the numbers given for your size and gauge. Once the fun crown shaping is complete, there’s lots of soothing knitting that makes for the perfect “take anywhere” project. Choose from a deep folded brim, or a simple ribbed band – directions are included for both 1x1 and 2x2 rib.
Gauge
The Clyde Hat is written for multiple gauges, you can start knitting the hat with whichever needle size feels comfortable for you for the yarn you are using. 11 gauges between 7 and 2 stitches per inch / 2.5cm are included.
Sizing
Clyde Hat includes 6 sizes and 11 gauges, so you can knit it with the yarn you prefer, to fit everyone. Use the included customisation spreadsheet to further customise the fit. Directions are included for a regular and turned up brim, and the top-down construction makes customising the length easy.
