Wavy Lines Hat
This is a remarkably simple yet pretty hat which involves only very basic repeating cable & lace stitch patterning, so that even an adventurous beginner who now wants to master more advanced knitting techniques could be encouraged to turn their hand to it, or for the more experienced knitter it offers enough interest without being too challenging. I have styled it as quite a slouchy hat, but this can be adjusted as you will see below under Finished measurements.
The matching Cowl is also available.

For the Sample I used: Elodie in ‘Muse’ –Sublime Yarns, 50g, 126 yards (115 meters)
(100% Wool - Merino)

Requires approx. 252yards / 231 metres DK weight yarn
The yarn usage amount is an approximate guide and is in fact a little over the actual amount I used, which was in fact 96g, but I have rounded it up to 100g in view of differences between knitters gauge and such, and so as to give you a few grams room
Needles: 4.5mm / US 7 for ribbed brim & 5mm / US 8 for main pattern (or 5mm for all) Either on 16” circular or longer cord length for using magic loop method, or spread over DPN’s. Also,you’ll need DPN’s /long cord length for using magic loop method in the larger size for small circumference knitting as the crown decreases rapidly reduces the stitches. Notions: A cable needle / DPN, tapestry needle / crochet hook for weaving ends.

This patterns techniques include: Casting on, binding off, knitting, purling. Includes increases and decreases by making K2togethers, Slip Slip Knit, and working yarnovers, to create pattern stitches. It
also involves creating cable patterning, either by using a Cable Needle/Double pointed
needle to slide stitches onto and hold at back or front of your work - or without one if you
feel able to and your yarn easily allows for it - in order to work the subsequent stitches and
therefore ‘swap’ the order of stitches worked and therefore the cable pattern
