Designed to showcase the Rhinebeck 2026 festival colorway from Miss Babs, this sweet hat patterns helps you make the most of a variegated colorway paired with a semi solid.

note: The photos in b&w are to keep the festival colorway a secret until Saturday, Oct. 17th. I’ll update the pics in the pattern after the colorway has been released:)

Working with only one strand of yarn on a given round, the slipped stitches combine with simple cables to create a textured fabric that resembles a lattice flowing organically into the crown shaping.

Don’t want to use a cable needle? The pattern has links to a video tutorial to show you how to easily work the cables without an additional needle at all!

Materials:
1 skein EACH of Miss Babs Yowza Minis (199 yds/80 g) in the Main color (MC, shown in Old Gold ), and in the Contrasting Color (CC, shown in RB2026 colorway), or
approximately 75(95, 115) yds of the MC and 65(75, 95) yds of the CC in heavy DK/light worsted weight yarn,
A 16” size 8 (5 mm) circular needle or size needle required to achieve gauge,
Set of size 8 (5 mm) double pointed needles (dpns), and
Set of size 6 (4 mm) double pointed needles (dpns) or two sizes smaller than required to achieve gauge,

Finished sizes:
Sizes XS(Sm, Med) measure 14 ¾ (18½ , 22)” in circumference, unstretched. Depth of hat is approx 7¼(8½, 8½)” from CO to top of crown.
Note that size XS is child sized, Sm is meant for a teen or an average size, and Med is for a medium/larger adult noggin.
Most adults will do best with size Sm (the middle size).
