The Lane hat is a close fitting cabled hat. The post stitch construction makes it thick and warm, as well as stretchy and comfy.

Supplies needed: H hook (US8, 5.00MM), G hook (US6, 4.00 MM), worsted weight yarn (minimum 220 yards, see note about yarns), yarn needle for weaving in ends

Gauge: Rounds 1-4 should measure 3 ½ inches across when worked in pattern.

Finished measurements: 20 inches around (will stretch to fit 22-24 inch head), 7 ½ inches long. Baby and Toddler sizes are included on the last page as a bonus.

Note about yarns: The purple hat photographed is made with one skein of Cascade 220. I had JUST enough to make this hat, and if I hadn’t gone down a hook size to the G hook for the ribbing, I would have ran out. I also left off Round 20 when I went back to redo the ribbing. If you have a looser gauge, you may not have enough with one skein of this yarn. Skeins with more yardage will be less of a risk, but you can use Cascade 220 if you keep a tight tension. If you want to add extra rows to make a longer or slouchier hat, you will definitely need more than 220 yards. The light colored hat photographed is made in Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool, as are the other size samples shown on the last page. I made the baby size with a leftover ball, and the adult and toddler sizes with one skein of Fisherman’s Wool. I had enough left after making the adult and toddler ones that I might have made all three sizes from one skein. Fisherman’s Wool contains 465 yards.
