Welcome to the November Knit-Along with the Wrought Mithril Hat! This was another pattern that needed a minor cleanup (don't worry, the pattern itself hasn't changed, I just fixed some formatting and broken links) and, a Knit-Along is the perfect kick in the butt for me to do just that!
The Wrought Mithril Hat pattern is 50% off for the Knit-Along, right through the month of November. You can get the pattern in my Web Shop, Etsy, and Ravelry! And patrons have access to the pattern, you can download it in the Patreon Shop!

This hat was created as part of the Initiate Knit Design Challenge, hosted by Francoise Danoy of Aroha Knits. The goal of the challenge was to help people get their design ideas off the ground, and this lace and cable fingering-weight hat was the result!
For the initial prompt, I drew inspiration from the vertical lines of wrought-iron fencing and the leading of stained glass. The result is a hat that’s lightweight, but still warm, and a great layering piece.
The yarn is Northbound Knits Merino/Silk Fingering in "Ethereal" . When looking for a substitute, most fingering-weight yarns would work well. I’d suggest fingering-weight wool or alpaca for a cold-weather hat, but you could also work it in cotton or linen for warmer weather.
The Wrought Mithril Hat is knit in the round from the brim up. The cable pattern and crown decreases are charted, with written instructions available as a secondary download, and, like all my patterns there's a large-print version available that's also compatible with screen-reading technology.
Now, onto the other important part, the Knit-Along Details!
For the month of November, every finished Hat has a chance to win a $30 CAD Gift Card from The Knitting Loft, or, 4 patterns of your choice from my Web Shop! And, don't worry, WIPs are very much accepted, so, please feel free to grab the old projects from deep storage (I know I have some!)
You can enter the KAL by posting on Facebook, Instagram, and, Discord (for a non-Meta option!) giving 3 chances to win in total!
I always look forward to seeing your Finished Objects! Please post them to various social media with #SarahDawnsDesignsNov2026 and tag me at @SarahDawnsDesigns (this one's new since IG doesn't always show me the hashtags any more!) and/or share them to the Facebook Group or to the Discord!

Good Luck, and happy knitting!
