This hat has become a staple and I love knitting it as gifts and I have made at least four for myself. The pattern deserved an update and a better name than hat no. 5! This hat is knit in the round and uses basic cabling. This is a great project for an adventurous beginner ready to take on a cabled hat or an experienced knitter looking for an easy to remember, quick cabled hat pattern. There is a companion cowl, the Rhode Trip Cowl, also available as a free download on Ravelry. **Skill level:** Intermediate **Skills needed**: knitting in the round, cabling, twisting stitches, and decreasing by SSK and Kt2og **Size**: Preemie (0-3months, 18 months) and Teen (Small Adult, Large Adult) Circumference: Stretches to fit 14" (17", 19") and 19 ¼” (22”, 27 ½”) Height: 5 3/4" (6", 6 1/2") and 7 ½”, 8 ½”, 9 ½” **Materials:** * US 8 (5.0 mm) 16” circular and double-pointed needles, or size to obtain gauge * 100 (120, 150) yards worsted weight wool or wool blend yarn * Stitch Marker * Cable Needle (if needed) * Yarn needle * Scissors [1]: https://theknitmckinley.com/2021/03/05/baby-rhode-trip-hat/
