The original Cape Cod Hat used 6 colors to create the design. This Cape Cod Hat was designed to use two skeins of Woolfolk Far, a dark color and a light color, making the project affordable, yet extremely soft and stretchy.

The pattern using US7 needles will fit a medium to large adult head. Using a US6 will give you a smaller, more tightly knit head and will fit a small to medium adult head.

The pattern is suitable for an advanced beginner, someone who knows how to read a pattern and can knit in the round using circular needles. It’s also fun for a more advanced knitter as it’s quick and fun, and makes a great gift.
