Introducing a beautifully crafted ribbed cable hat that combines warmth and style, perfect for your winter wardrobe. This lovely hat features intricate ribbed cable designs that add texture and visual interest, making it a stunning accessory for any outfit.
Size: This hat comes in one size, designed to stretch comfortably to fit head circumferences of 54-56 cm (21-22 inches). The total length from brim to top is approximately 24.5 cm (9.75 inches), providing ample coverage for chilly days.
Yarn: For this project, you'll need just 1 skein of Rainbow Heirloom Sweater yarn, which is made from 100% premium merino wool. This yarn boasts a generous yardage of 229 m (250 yards) per skein, with a weight of 115 grams. The hat is showcased in the enchanting colorway Princess Rockstar, which adds a playful pop to your look.
Needles: You'll require a 4.5 mm (US #7) circular needle that is at least 40 cm (16 inches) long, along with double-pointed needles (dpns) for seamless crafting. It's essential to have a second needle at 3.75 mm (US #5) size, which should also be a minimum of 40 cm (16 inches) long, or dpns that are three sizes smaller than your gauge needles to ensure a perfect fit. Having the right tool will help you achieve the desired stitch definition and keep your knitting smooth.
Other Supplies: To complete this ribbed cable hat, you'll need a few additional tools: 1 stitch marker to keep track of your rounds, a cable needle for those intricate stitches, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and completing your project seamlessly.
Gauge: It's important to keep gauge in mind for the perfect fit. For this hat, one cable repeat (19 stitches x 16 rounds) measures approximately 6.5 cm (2.5 inches) wide and 4.5 cm (1.75 inches) high when knitted in the round with the 4.5 mm (US #7) needle, and in its un-stretched state. We recommend taking the time to check your gauge before starting the project; if necessary, adjust your needle size to ensure that you achieve the correct gauge for your hat.
With this versatile ribbed cable hat pattern, you can elevate your knitting skills while crafting a stunning piece that is both fashionable and functional. Perfect as a gift for loved ones or as a treat for yourself, this knit hat will be a beloved addition to your collection. Start your knitting journey and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something beautiful!
