We’re excited to present the Magic Cylinder, an ingenious hat designed by Stéphanie Voyer that easily converts into a soft, comfortable neckwarmer.

Is it a hat that turns into a neck warmer, or a neck warmer that turns into a hat? It's up to you to find out! 😉

You have the option to purchase the pattern only or the knitting kit, which contains both the yarn and the pattern needed to knit this project!

NOTE

This pattern is worked in two parts: the headband, then the cylinder. The cylinder part is also the part that will serve as the crown if you want to wear this piece as a beanie.
The headband is knitted flat as a rectangle, which will be folded in half to form a double-thickness band. The headband is finished with a seam connecting the cast-on row to the bind-off row. For a seamless version, use a provisional cast-on and replace the seam with a kitchener stitch.

In the second part, the cylinder is cast on directly onto the headband, picking up stitches along the two layers of garter stitch. It ends with a series of small eyelet openings, through which you can thread an i-cord or ribbon to close the crown.

The lined headband offers good protection against the cold, and if you have long hair, you'll appreciate the opening in the crown to let your mane breathe!
