Who needs a hat for Fall? Or rather, who doesn’t?!?

Laxo Worsted is a riff on Laxo Hat from my first (and only!) book Knockout Knits. Knit in the round from the bottom up, Laxo Worsted starts with a folded brim that creates extra warmth for your ears. The hat body features elongated stitches that flow in and out with a cabling technique that results in a fabric with lots of squish and elasticity. In a bonus move, no cable needle is used in the knitting of this hat! And those crown decreases… don’t you just love how they come together?

Sized for toddlers through large adult, Laxo Worsted is a quick knit and the perfect gift! Most sizes use less than 250 yds of worsted weight yarn (shown here in Cece’s Wool American Ewe Tweed), it is the perfect pattern for those skeins of worsted weight you have in stash.
