Fox Gap

Why should sweater knitters have all the fun? Whether you live in a warmer climate or simply aren’t ready to tackle an all-over cabled sweater, you can still indulge in the elegance of cable knitting with the stylish Fox Gap hat. This delightful accessory features dynamic cable motifs inspired by the popular Quirauk cardigan, all while maintaining a much simpler shape—perfect for knitters of all skill levels! Enjoy the satisfaction of crafting a beautiful hat without the complexities of short rows, pockets, or applied i-cord. With just a few straightforward decreases to shape the crown, your hat will be ready to wear in no time!

I personally prefer a neat tubular cast-on for hats for a seamless finish, but if that’s not your preferred method, consider trying an alternating cable cast-on for a tidy edge that blends beautifully into the ribbing. Don’t wait any longer—grab a skein of your favorite worsted weight yarn and let’s get started on this fun and rewarding knitting project!
