Lang PTO31-13 Cable Hat
What Is Being Made
The Lang PTO31-13 is a knitted hat featuring prominent cable stitch patterning. This downloadable PDF pattern from Lang Yarns produces a finished hat suitable for everyday wear, with a structured silhouette created through strategic cable placement and shaping techniques.
Construction Method
This hat is worked bottom-up, meaning knitting begins at the brim and progresses toward the crown. The pattern is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, and the finished pieces are seamed together to form the completed hat. This flat construction method allows for precise cable alignment and easier pattern reading during the knitting process.
Stitch Techniques
The primary decorative element of this hat is cable knitting, a classic technique that creates twisted, rope-like textures. The pattern employs several cable variations:
- 3-stitch cables crossing at the back: Three stitches are placed on a cable needle and held at the back of the work while the following three stitches are knitted, then the held stitches are knitted to create a cable that twists rightward.
- 3-stitch cables crossing at the front: Three stitches are placed on a cable needle and held in front of the work while the following three stitches are knitted, then the held stitches are knitted to create a cable that twists leftward.
- Decorative cable decreases: Advanced cable techniques combine knit two together decreases with cable crosses to create tapered cable effects and shaping within the pattern.
The pattern uses a 10-stitch repeat structure, allowing the cable motifs to repeat consistently across the width of the hat. Standard knitting stitches including knit, purl, knit two together, and purl two together stitches form the foundation and support the cable patterns.
Materials
