In the coldest of seasons, a warm hat in a dense, impenetrable fabric is a good defense against the weather. This one is a great example, knit with squishy worsted weight wool in three sizes (S/M/L) for children, teens, and adults. An intricate cabled panel adds attractive texture and maximizes its wind resistance, while soft volume up top helps keep warmth inside where it belongs. For best insulation use a lofty, strong wool that traps air and forms a cohesive fabric surface.
Suggested Yarns:
Kent Worsted, Confection Worsted, Targhee Tango Worsted, Better Breakfast Worsted, Chebris Worsted, or any soft, springy worsted weight yarn that knits to pattern gauge.
Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size and elasticity.
