Superchunky Cabled Hat
Introducing a quick and easy knit hat pattern that’s perfect for beginners wanting to dive into cabling! This charming hat, crafted in superchunky yarn, makes for an ideal first cabled project and can be easily completed in just an afternoon. We utilize worsted weight yarn held double throughout, ensuring a cozy and warm finish.
Yarn: For this project, we recommend Rowan Pure Wool Worsted. You'll need two skeins, which total approximately 400m/438yds. Don't worry—there will be some yarn left over for your next knitting adventure!
Needles: You’ll need a 40" 6.5mm/US 10.5 circular needle and a 40" 8mm/US 11 circular needle for the magic loop method. Alternatively, you can use double-pointed needles (dpns) if that's your preference.
Gauge: Achieve a perfect fit by ensuring you have a gauge of 14 stitches = 4" in the cable pattern while holding the yarn double with your 8mm/US 11 needles.
Extras: To complete this enchanting knit hat, gather a few extra supplies: one 6mm/US 10 cable needle (or smaller), an embroidery needle for weaving in ends, a stitch marker to denote the beginning of your round, and some cardboard for crafting a delightful pompom.
This easy knit hat pattern not only introduces you to the beautiful technique of cabling but also results in a stylish accessory that you can wear or gift. With just a few hours of crafting, you’ll have a soft, comfy hat that showcases your new knitting skills.
