Materials Needed
- Yarn: We recommend The Plucky Knitter Primo Aran, a luxurious blend comprising 75% Merino wool, 20% Cashmere, and 5% Nylon. You'll need one (or two) skein(s) of light aran or DK weight yarn, which roughly translates to about 190 (220) yards or 175 (200) meters. For our sample, we used the beautiful colorway “Spring Forward.”
- Needles: US 4 (3.5 mm) & US 6 (4 mm) 16” (40 cm) circular needles or DPNs are ideal for this project.
- Cable Needle: Essential for creating those lovely cable details.
- Stitch Marker: Keep track of your rounds with one handy stitch marker.
- Tapestry Needle: Use this to weave in those ends and finish your hat nicely.
Sizes Available The "Keep Snug" hat is designed to fit a variety of head sizes. Choose from medium (large) to accommodate head circumferences of 22 (24) inches, or approximately 56 (61) cm. The approximate length of the hat is 9.5 (10.25) inches, or 24 (26) cm.
Gauge Information To achieve the best results, aim for a gauge of 18 stitches and 28 rounds per 4” (10 cm) in stockinette stitch using the larger needles after blocking. Accurate gauge is crucial for the perfect fit, so be prepared to adjust your needle size if necessary.
