Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,
I am excited to share my new hat pattern with you. I have been talking about the gray and yellow color combination that I love so dearly. Now I have a super cute and quick hat to show for it. I am simply calling it the Beluga and Firefly Hat in honor of these two spectacular Spud & Chloë Sweater colorways.
Can’t you just feel how squishy that hat is? It feels like a dream. I sat down with a sketchbook and a pencil and made up the striping stitch pattern in Firefly after several times of trying out different things. I wanted a textural stripe but nothing too difficult and I think the result is fantastic.
Here is some information you might like to know:
Size: Older child to adult woman
Circumference in inches: 19 inches
Yarn: Spud & Chloë Sweater (55% superwash wool, 45% organic cotton; 100 grams/160 yards), 1 hank each in Beluga #7521and Firefly #7505
Needles: US size 7 sixteen-inch circular needles and a set of 4 double-pointed needles or size to obtain gauge
Gauge: 5 stiches per inch in stockinette stitch
Materials:
Scissors
Ruler or tape measure
Yarn needle
Stitch marker
This is my new go-to hat pattern for the upcoming gift knitting season. I love how quick, simple and fun it is to work up. Think of all the color combinations you could come up with by pairing the Beluga with any other color in Sweater… endless possibilities await!

Lovely…beautiful colors.
I love it! I cast on today but I’m going to swap the firefly for pollen as my daughters coat it orange, this hat should be perfect. Thanks Susan!
I love your designs, I will certainly use it probable for a cardigan for my granddaughter.

Great hat! Fabulous colors! Casting one on for my daughter!
Thanks, Susan! I love it!
I can’t retrieve the firefly hat patter—-NO directions, just photos of the hat. How do I download the directions. thanks for any help.
Love the design and the new pattern format is fabulous! Can’t wait to cast on!
First, I love this pattern. I am confused by the instructions on Rnd 21. Could someone please explain knit the 2nd stitch, then the lst stitch then remove both stitches from the left hand needle to the right?
Can’t wait to start the hat!
Cheers!
I’m stuck here too…did you figure it out?
i’m attempting to faithfully follow a pattern for the first time ever, and this has me stumped, too. i’m off to search on youtube but will also check back here for help. thanks in advance.
@Virgina Busch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF9VCDhEOqs Check that video on your question with Rnd 21. I’m a new knitter & was researching this & found a video, thought i would share
Hope that helps. I am knitting this hat & so far so good!
Thanks Susan!
This is a hat looks great! I love the stripe detail. Thank you for sharing
No, I haven’t been able to research it further. Maybe a Spud and Chloe person will read our posts and reply.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I like the Beluga and firefly hat, but have following problem for the instruction since I am a beginner. 1. on Rnd16, what is M1 means? 2. after Rnd 17 – it said reattach firefly, what is firefly stitch? also on Rnd 18, what is Beluga? Anyone can help, if I can solve the above question, I can’t wait to start this project. This hat is so pretty.
I don’t make it a habit to make comments on numerous articles, but this one deserves attention. I agree with the data you’ve written so eloquently here. Thank you.
