This design features an elegant mirrored cable that adds intricate detail to a warm ribbed hat, perfect for chilly days. The double cuff not only enhances style but also provides extra warmth, making it an ideal choice for winter wear.
This versatile hat pattern includes sizes for everyone, allowing you to create a matching accessory for the whole family. Each size requires just a single skein of Cascade 220 yarn, making it an economical and efficient project.
Construction: The hat is expertly crafted in the round from the bottom up. Enjoy working the cuff, which features the beautiful cable design, up to the turn of the brim. After completing the brim, the knitting direction is reversed to form the stylish upper section of the hat.
Sizes: Available in S (M-L, XL) adult sizes, this hat accommodates a circumference of 21-23 (22-24.5, 24-26)”/53.5-58.5 (56-62, 61-66) cm. The total height uncuffed measures 10 (11, 13)”/25.5 (28, 33) cm, ensuring a comfortable fit for all head sizes.
Yarn: This project uses 1 (1, 1) skein of Cascade Yarns 220, which is known for its durability and warmth. Each skein offers 220 yards (200 meters) and weighs 3.5 ounces (100 grams). Made from 100% Peruvian wool in the beautiful shade #8401 Silver Gray, this yarn choice adds a touch of elegance to your completed hat. Please note that for the largest size, you will have approximately 4.5 yards (4 meters) remaining.
Needles: To achieve the perfect fit and texture, you will need a US 7 (4.5 mm) 16”/40 cm circular needle along with double point needles, or the size necessary to obtain gauge. A US 6 (4 mm) 16”/40 cm circular needle is recommended for the cuff, along with a stitch marker and a cable needle to help create the stunning cable pattern.
Gauge: Aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 24 rows per 4”/10 cm in stockinette, using the larger needles. This will ensure your hat fits perfectly and showcases the beautiful cable detail.
This cabled hat pattern is a must-try project for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a fashionable and functional accessory. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this hat is sure to keep you or your loved ones warm and stylish all season long!
