These beautiful cables feature deep, alternating Vs, combined with smaller twists for added texture. They are bold and crisp and gorgeous in a classic worsted wool, and I they worked perfectly into a striking crown detail.

With all the bold patterning up top, I used a folded 1x1 brim down below. This not only provided some delicate contrast, but the deep fold gives you a bit of control over the final depth of your hat and the ability to adjust how you like to wear it.

Notes are included in the pattern on where you can alter the fit on this design. These cables allow for less modification than some patterns, but there are still tricks up my sleeve..

As always, the cable instructions are both charted and written out.

Sizing

16.75(20,23.25)”/42.5(50.75,59)cm circumference around head. 8(8,9.75)”/20.25(20.25,24.75)cm deep with brim folded. 10(10,12)”/25.5(25.5,30.5)cm unfolded, cast-on to center crown.

I suggest choosing the size with 1-2”/2.5-5cm of negative ease around head for a snug fitting hat.

Yardage by Size

185(215,250)yds/170(195,230)m worsted weight yarn needed.

If substituting yarn or modifying hat, yardage may vary.
The 20”/50.75 size uses about a full skein of Magpie Fibers Nest Worsted, so plan accordingly.
