Introduction

This quick and cozy hat features alternating cables in an “XOXO” design - hence the name “Hugs and Kisses”! The perfect fast knit for treasured family and friends, finish it off with a fluffy or woolly pompom on top and it’s sure to keep you warm all winter long.

1 x 100g ball of WAK The Petite Wool, or another chunky-weight yarn of your choice
Set of 5mm DPNs (or size required to reach gauge)

Gauge

12 stitches and 16 rows = 5cm x 5cm in cable pattern

Sizing

This hat is one size, written to fit an adult size S-M with a head circumference of 21 inches / 54cm. The hat is designed to be tight-fitting at the top with no bagginess, unlike many other designs. If you need to size up significantly, I recommend casting on additional multiples of 20 stitches.
