Knit this up super quickly for Ryan while he’s away. Will give it to him as a surprise when he gets back.

The hat looks very small, but it fits. The pattern stretches both down and around more than it looks like it will.

This yarn is so so so soft. I does look much “fuzzier” when knit than it does in the ball. My cables can be seen, but they are subtle. If you want your stitch pattern to really pop then I would choose a different yarn.

This pattern is easy to follow, especially if you can work the cables without a cable needle.
