The Profiterole Hat

Few things cap off a satisfying meal quite like a profiterole. It’s creamy and airy and sometimes drizzled in chocolate, all of which is making me salivate just thinking about it.

This light, fluffy hat is similarly meant to be the perfect topper to your favorite outfit. It has just enough detail to be interesting without being a distraction from the other items you’re wearing, so it can blend well with your existing wardrobe while still being a fun addition.

SIZES

Finished circumference 18.75” (47.5 cm), 20.5” (52 cm), 22.25” (56.5 cm), 24” (61 cm) Most people like their hats snug, so choose a finished hat size that is slightly smaller than your actual head

MATERIALS

Fingering weight yarn, 180-230 yds (165-210 m), held double with lace-weight silk-mohair yarn, 180-230 yds (165-210 m); alternatively, DK weight yarn, 180-230 yds (165-210 m).  I knit the sample shown knit in La Bien Aimee DK Merino, 100% Merino wool, 252 yds (230 m) per 4 oz (115 g), in the colorway Nadia.

You'll need one set of needles for your preferred style of small-circumference knitting (suggested needle size US 8 / 5mm and US 5 / 3.75 mm), plus one stitch marker, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
