In an undyed yarn, the barbed wire stitch and crisp cables pop on this attractive-yet-burly hat. A sleek accessory for the discerning man in your life, the Manly Hat is interesting to knit (a must when knitting for someone suspicious of bright colors) and coordinates with the Manly Mitts, the Manly Scarf, and the Manly Möbius. Knit all four for added manliness (and your choice of neckwear).

Requires approximately 120 yards (or 60g) of any worsted-weight wool with roughly 200 yards to 100g. I used Cascade 220 in color 8012.

(The entire set requires at least 300g of yarn.)
