About the Design
Since designing the Interlocking Cable Socks, years ago, I’ve been wanting to use the cable pattern in other designs. It suits a hat perfectly. Two sizes are workable, through a change in needle size.

The hats were sampled in Kraemer Yarns Naturally Nazareth, a 100% soft domestic wool yarn. Both sizes uses less than one skein each.

Size: S-M / M-L

Finished Dimensions
Hat Circumference:18 / 20″ stretches to 20 / 22″
Hat Depth – top of crown to rib edge: 7.5 / 8″

Yarn: Kraemer Yarns Naturally Nazareth, 100% domestic wool, approx 184 yd / 100 gram skein: 1 skein #Y1301 Natural or color of your choice

Gauge: 20 sts and 26 rows = 4″ (10 cm) in St st with size 7 ndls, 18 sts and 23 rows = 4″ in St st with size 8 ndls

1 rep (24 sts) cable patt (unstretched) = approx. 3.25 / 3.5″ unblocked and 3.375 / 3.625″ blocked.

Substitute Yarn Weight: Worsted to Heavy Worsted

Skill Level: Intermediate

Happy Knitting!
