Sledding and Snowballs Hat
• Fingering/sock yarn • Easy cables •
Grab this hat on your way out the door to play in the snow! It’s got a double brim to keep your ears cozy, but the lightweight yarn won’t make you hot when you’re pulling your sled up the hill. It’s got enough polish to wear around town, too - especially if snow is falling!
If you’re new to cables, the simple ones here provide a perfect introduction.
The pattern includes four sizes, so you can knit this hat for kids and adults alike.
The pattern includes a nifty trick that lets you knit more than purl for the ribbing, but still have the “right side” show when you flip up the brim.

Yarn:Fingering/sock yarn, approximately 50 (60, 70, 80) grams/220 (260, 300, 340 yards/200 (240, 280, 320) meters.
Gauge: 28 sts and 36 rows to 4”/10 cm in stockinette stitch, unblocked.
Needles: US 3/3.25 mm or size needed to achieve gauge. This hat is worked in the round. A 16”/40 cm circular needle will be comfortable for all but the child size, which will need to be worked either on a 12”/30 cm circular, double-pointed needles, or a much longer circular needle, if you prefer the Magic Loop method. All sizes will need dpns/Magic Loop as the number of stitches decreases at the crown of the hat.
Skills: The hat is mainly knit and purl stitches, with some simple cables. It is a good introduction to cable knitting. It is worked in the round.
Sizes: Child (teen/adult S, adult M/L, adult XL) with finished circumference of 16 (18.5, 20.5, 23)”/40 (46, 51, 57) cm
