The Gulliver Beanie is a quick-to-knit close-fitting hat in worsted weight yarn. It features a repeating Triple Gull cable pattern. A twisted stitch ridge runs from the cast-on edge to the crown, and is incorporated into the ribbing pattern for a smooth transition to the body of the hat.

Additional gauges (based on 4x4” (10x10cm):

The finished dimensions are:

The sample is knitted on a combination of 16”/40cm circulars and double-pointed needles.

The cable pattern is charted and written out. A separate table details the progression of crown decreases, with boxes to tick off the rows as they are completed.
