Qomolamgma Cabled Hat

This stylish and versatile pattern is part of the exclusive Traverse capsule collection, designed for knitters of all skill levels. This fun, unisex hat pairs perfectly with the cabled wrap from the same collection, making it an excellent project choice for anyone looking to create coordinated accessories. Whether you're a beginner wanting to learn the art of cabling or an experienced knitter in need of a quick project, this pattern is sure to satisfy your creative urges.

For this project, you will need: 2 skeins of luxurious mYak 100% Baby Yak Medium Weight yarn in the beautiful Tibetan Sky hue. This high-quality yarn is not only soft and warm but also offers amazing drape and stitch definition, perfect for showcasing your cabling skills.

To achieve the perfect gauge, use a 16"/40cm circular needle in the size needed; the suggested size is US 8. For more intricate details, you’ll also require a smaller 16"/40cm circular needle, two sizes smaller than your gauge needle, which typically is a US 6. These needle sizes will help you achieve the right fit and texture for your hat.

Essential tools and notions for this project include a stitch marker, a cable needle for the cabling techniques, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends. Having these tools on hand will make your knitting experience smoother and more enjoyable.

The finished dimensions of the hat are approximately 9.25"/23.5cm in height and 18.5"/47cm in circumference, measured after blocking but before stretching. This well-proportioned design ensures a comfortable fit for any head size, making it a thoughtful gift or a delightful personal accessory.

Remember, this hat is knit in the round from the bottom up, so you’ll enjoy seamless construction as you work your way to the top. Dive into this enjoyable pattern and add a functional and fashionable hat to your collection today!
