Lang PTO31-07 Knit Hat in Lace and Cable Design
What Is Being Made
The Lang PTO31-07 is a women's sized knit hat featuring a sophisticated combination of lace and cable stitch patterns. This downloadable PDF pattern from Lang Yarns produces a finished hat worked from the bottom up using flat knitting techniques with seaming to close the crown.
Craft and Construction Method
This is a knitting project suitable for intermediate knitters. The hat is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, meaning the body is knitted as a flat rectangle that is later seamed together. The bottom-up construction begins at the brim and progresses upward toward the crown, allowing knitters to try on the hat during the fitting process and adjust length as needed.
Stitches and Techniques
The pattern incorporates multiple stitch techniques to create visual interest and texture:
- Rib Pattern: Worked on US 8 (5mm) needles using alternating knit and purl stitches (K1, P1) to create the elastic ribbed brim. This ribbing is worked in both right-side and wrong-side rows with the same stitch sequence, creating a reversible texture that stretches and recovers well.
- Cable Pattern: Worked on US 10 (6mm) needles following a charted pattern with a 14-stitch repeat plus 15 additional stitches and 2 edge stitches. The cable pattern is shown for right-side rows only; on wrong-side rows, stitches are worked as they appear (knit the knits, purl the purls).
- Lace Elements: The pattern incorporates yarn overs and decreases typical of lace knitting, including knit two together (K2tog), purl two together (P2tog), and slip-slip-knit (SSK) decreases that create the openwork characteristic of lace.
- Seaming: After the flat pieces are knitted, they are sewn together using a seaming technique to form the hat's tubular shape and close the crown.
Materials Required
The pattern calls for LANGYARNS CLOUD, a premium yarn composed of extra fine merino wool (mulesing free) blended with nylon for durability and elasticity. One ball of 100 grams in colorway bright 1077.0008 is required. Knitters will need ADDI knitting needles in two sizes: US 8 (5mm) needles for the ribbed brim and US 10 (6mm) needles for the cable and lace pattern sections. The needle size progression allows for proper gauge and fabric characteristics in each section of the hat.
Pattern Structure
The pattern is presented in chart form with multilingual instructions (English, French, German, and Danish). The cable pattern chart is divisible by 14 stitches plus 15 additional stitches and 2 edge stitches, providing clear visual guidance for stitch placement and shaping. The pattern includes detailed abbreviations and symbol explanations for international knitters.
