It’s a project with clear instructions, both charted and written, making it accessible for knitters looking to develop their skills or enjoy a quick knit.

Specifications:

• Yarn: Magpie Quartet Worsted - 100% Superfine SW Merino, 210 yds/100g. For best results, we recommend a yarn with at least some animal fibers, a nice twist for stitch definition and a semi-solid or tonal solid to complement and not compete with the cabled textures.

• Needles: US 6 (4.00mm) 16-40” circular for the brim, US 8 (5.00mm) 16-40” circular for the body.

Of course this easily adjusted by blocking and/or sizing up or down for your ribbing according to your tension for ribbing.
