Blue Skies in winter often mean severely cold weather or conversely hint at the promise of spring in Milwaukee. Slip stitches on the brim edge give this hat a very stretchy edge no visible beginning. The traditional rope cables are a classic and a perennial favorite.

This is a great one skein project. To change stitch count to adjust the hat circumference, add or subtract the number of hat body stitches in groups of eight.

Hat Dimensions (as written): Adult Small is made to fit an average 20” circumference head, Adult Medium is made to fit an average 22” circumference head, and Adult Large is made to fit an average 24” circumference head.

Gauge: 24 sts. and 28 rows in Hat Body pattern after being blocked.
