Looking for the perfect first cables project? The Cantelow Hat is your ideal choice! This delightful pattern is not only easy to memorize but also fun to knit, featuring simple cable stitches that appear only every ten rows. Crafted with fingering weight yarn, this lightweight beanie makes for the perfect accessory during transitional seasons! The beautiful cables of this hat are designed to match the stunning Cantelow Shawl, creating a harmonious look for your ensemble.

YARN: You will need approximately 230 yards (210 meters) or 60 grams of fingering weight yarn. The sample uses SweetGeorgia yarn, but feel free to explore other brands that fit your style!

NEEDLES: Use US 2 and 4 (2.75 mm and 3.5 mm) 16” (40 cm) circular needles for the main body and a set of US 4 (3.5 mm) double-pointed needles for the crown. Be sure to check your needle sizes to achieve the correct gauge!

NOTIONS: Don't forget your tapestry needle, stitch markers, and a cable needle to help you along the way.

GAUGE: The gauge for this project is 30 stitches x 34 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch using the larger needle after blocking. If your gauge doesn't match, adjust your needle sizes as needed!
