Product Description
Cabled Hat in Noro Okunoshima
What Is Being Made
This is an intermediate-level knitted hat designed for adult women. The finished hat measures 19½ inches (49.5 cm) in head circumference and 9¼ inches (23.5 cm) in length. The design features cable stitch patterning worked in the round using circular needles, creating a textured, dimensional fabric suitable for cold-weather wear.
Techniques Used
The Cabled Hat employs several essential knitting techniques appropriate for intermediate crafters. The pattern uses circular needle knitting to construct the hat seamlessly in the round, eliminating the need for seaming. Key techniques include:
- Cable stitching, which requires a cable needle to cross stitches over one another, creating the signature twisted rope-like texture
- Yarn overs to create new stitches and add shaping
- Decreasing stitches using slip, slip, knit (SSK) methods to shape the crown
- Picking up and knitting along edges for finishing
- Stitch marker placement to track pattern repeats and shaping points
- Working from stitch charts that include "no stitch" spaces indicating areas where stitches have been decreased
Stitches Used
The primary stitch pattern is the Cable Pattern
The pattern may be worked from either written text instructions or stitch charts, providing flexibility for different learning preferences. This hat requires minimal materials, making it an efficient project. The yarn is Noro Okunoshima, a premium yarn in colorway #02, with one 100-gram cake providing sufficient yardage for the completed hat. Two circular needles in different sizes are used: a size US 7/4.5mm circular needle measuring 16 inches (40 cm) long for the ribbed cuff section, and a size US 8/5mm circular needle also measuring 16 inches (40 cm) long for the main cable pattern body. Additional notions include a stitch marker for tracking pattern repeats and a cable needle for manipulating cable stitches. Achieving proper gauge is essential for this project. The pattern specifies 22 stitches and 24 rows to 4 inches (10 cm) over the Cable Pattern using size US 8/5mm needles. Knitters are strongly advised to knit and measure a gauge swatch before beginning the hat to ensure the finished measurements match the intended dimensions. The downloadable PDF format provides complete pattern instructions, stitch charts, and detailed abbreviations for all techniques required to complete this intermediate cabled hat project.
