This beautifully cabled hat serves as a versatile and comfortable accessory, perfect for the chilly months ahead. The stunning cable motifs are seamlessly integrated from the brim's ribbing, creating an intricate pattern that enhances the crown's design. Whether you're venturing outdoors or cozying up indoors, this hat will keep you warm and stylish.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Achieve a snug fit with a brim circumference of 19”/48 cm and a height of 9½”/24 cm from the base of the ribbing to the top center of the crown. These measurements are taken after blocking and ensure a perfect fit for average adult head sizes ranging from 20-23”/51-58 cm, making it an excellent gift or personal accessory.
YARN: For this project, we recommend using Harrisville Designs FLYWHEEL (Sport Weight) yarn. This 100% Pure Virgin Wool yarn features 170 yards per 50 g skein, showcased beautifully in the timeless shade of Granite #969. You will need 2 skeins to complete this exquisite hat, ensuring a soft and warm finish.
NEEDLES: Gather your tools! You will need size US 6 (4 mm) circular needles that are 16”/40 cm long, or a suitable alternative to obtain the correct gauge. You may also consider size US 4 (3.25 mm) circular needles or dpns (double-pointed needles) to help create that perfect fit.
NOTIONS: Don’t forget the essential tools: stitch markers to help keep track of your stitches, 2 cable needles for the intricate cable design, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and finishing touches. These notions will ensure a streamlined and enjoyable knitting experience from start to finish.
GAUGE: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rounds = 4” (10 cm) on size US 6 (4 mm) needles in Stockinette stitch after blocking. Alternatively, achieve a gauge of 23 stitches and 28 rounds = 4” (10 cm) using size US 4 (3.25 mm) needles in a Rib pattern after blocking.
