The hat is knitted in the round using circular or double pointed needles (DPNs).
Instructions for the hat are to fit a head 53½cm (21”) diameter x 28cm (11”) depth, and the cabled design is both written out and charted.
Yardage requirements: 175yds/160m worsted weight yarn (similar to aran weight yarn) but please ensure that you do a tension square/gauge. The tension required is 5 sts/7 rows = 1” (2½cm) 4.5mm(US7) needles or size needed to obtain gauge.
To complete your hat you will need 3.5 and 4.0mm (US3 and US6) circular or double pointed needles. You will also need a cable needle and stitch markers.
If you prefer, you can also knit the hat using fingering wright yarn (similar to 4 Ply) used double instead of worsted weight (aran) used single.
