Techniques include:

Cables

Materials:
45 (60, 63, 67)g Worsted weight yarn (220y/200m per 100g)

This hat has a large amount of stretch, so each size can accommodate a large range of head circumference. For a slouchier fit, work the entire chart as listed. For a more fitted style, knit to 1” less than the total length you would like your hat to fit.

The cable pattern is charted only.
