Honey Hat uses the textures of cablework and slip stitches. These two techniques has some flexibility to expand, and therefore, Honey Hat is suitable for teens and adults alike.

I used Orkney Angora, St Magnus DK. I love its warmth, lightness, and the halo it creates. Any DK that knits up to gauge will work fine, however, bear in mind that the textures of Honey Hat shows up best using a solid colour, tweed yarn or something with gradated colour changes.

I only used 50g of yarn - in fact slightly less than 118 yards.
