Brig

Seaman Hat and Scarf
Skill Level: 2 of 5
Regular price $10.00

“One of the earliest knitted items I have ever made was a black ribbed hat for my husband, Marcel. More than 10 years later, he still wears it – and reports that many of his friends have asked for its provenance.

This type of hat is known as a seaman’s hat; the accompanying scarf is also inspired by seamen’s scarves and is meant to function as a tidy layer to be worn under peacoats or sweaters. As it is not meant to loop around the neck as longer scarves do, it is almost as quick a knit as the hat.“ – Véronik Avery

Pattern Materials

YARDAGE

  • Approximately 340 (365, 380) yards of worsted weight wool yarn (for both items)
  • If you wish to make a toque-length hat (not shown), you will require an additional 45 yards of yarn.


YARN

Brooklyn Tweed Shelter — 100% American Targhee-Columbia Wool (140 yards/128 meters per 50 grams)

  • 3 skeins
  • Shelter sample photographed in color Meteorite

Note: The scarf is readily knit with 2 skeins of Shelter, but the hat pushes the limit of a single skein. If making the hat only, you will require 2 skeins.

Potential yarn substitutes include Imbue Worsted. Note that put-ups (yardage per skein) may be different for alternate yarn lines, so check your total yardage for your size.

Brim length measurements have been updated for the hat and additional information has been given for making a Touque version of the hat.  The components and schematic pages have been updated to reflect the revised and additional information. Target measurements under Work Ribbing on Page 7 have been updated as follows: “Work even in established ribbing until piece measures 5¼ (5½, 5¾)” from cast-on edge for hat shown, or until piece measures 7¾ (8, 8¼)” for a toque-length hat (not shown).”
