Yarn Requirements: For the Coronal hat, you’ll need DK weight wool or a wool blend. The main color (MC) requires 50 (85, 115 yds) or approximately (46 (78, 105) m), while the contrasting color (CC) needs 35 (65, 90 yds) or about (32(60, 82) m). The larger sample is beautifully knit in Madelinetosh DK Twist, using Pavement as the main color (MC) and Coquette for the contrasting color (CC). For the medium-sized sample, we recommend using Madelinetosh DK in Ink (MC) and Smokestack (CC) for a stunning visual appeal.
Gauge Information: Achieving the correct gauge is essential for ensuring your hat fits perfectly. One repeat of the cable pattern measures approximately 3.5” (8.9 cm), and you'll need 23 garter bumps (46 rounds) to equal 4” (10 cm) when using larger needles. Additionally, the ribbing gauge is 22 stitches over 4” (10 cm) when utilizing smaller needles, making it easy to customize your hat to your desired size.

You’ll need to know how to knit, purl, create cables, and slip stitches, as well as perform ssk, k2tog, and centered double decrease techniques. This pattern is accessible for knitters with some experience, thus providing a rewarding challenge for those looking to expand their skills.
Additionally, this pattern is available in both written and charted formats, catering to various knitting preferences.
