The hat ends up being 7.5 inches high and 9 inches wide flat when completed and with described gauge. Lion Brand Wool-ease in worsted is nice and stretchy so it fits most heads at this size, but probably not super big heads (like my beloved husbands haha).

Skill Level: Beginner into Intermediate - This is a great pattern for learning how to do a challenging cable while not having to worry about anything else, no decreases or anything. So enjoy and don’t forget to challenge yourself!

When using aran weight yarn, such as Lion Brand Wool-Ease or Vanna, use US 8 (5 mm) needles to get gauge.
