Mount Temple Hat

Introducing a stunning winter hat pattern featuring disappearing, subtle cables that elegantly wrap around the hem. This unique design showcases a deceptively simple construction technique: knit the cable hem and seamlessly join the two ends, then effortlessly pick up stitches to craft the crown. Inspired by the majestic Mount Temple, which towers over Lake Louise in Banff National Park, this cozy hat captures the beauty of the great outdoors while keeping you warm during those chilly winter months.

**Finished Size:** This versatile hat has a circumference of 21 inches but can stretch to comfortably fit approximately 23 inches, making it ideal for various head sizes.

**Yarn:** The pattern calls for Dragonfly Fibers Traveller, a luxurious 100% Superwash merino wool. Each skein contains 280 yards (4 oz.), and you will need approximately 130 yards to complete this gorgeous project.

**Needles:** For this pattern, you will require a 16-inch circular needle along with a set of 5 double-pointed needles, or you can choose your preferred method for knitting in the round. For best results, we recommend using size 5 US (3.75 mm) needles or an alternative size to achieve the correct gauge.

**Gauge:** To ensure your hat fits perfectly, strive for a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches of blocked stockinette in the round. This attention to detail will help you create a beautifully crafted winter accessory.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this winter hat pattern is a delightful project that combines style, comfort, and a touch of nature's inspiration.
