Traveling Cable Hat

MATERIALS - 1 (2) skein(s) of Purl Soho’s [Alpaca Pure][1], 100% alpaca yarn. Each skein is 109 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 109 (218) yards required. We used Alpaca Pure in the color Heirloom White for the Baby Hat and Artemisia for the Adult Hat. - US 5 (3.75 mm), 20-inch [circular needle][3] - US 6 (4.0 mm), 20-inch circular needle - A set of US 6 [double pointed needles][4] GAUGE 22 stitches = 3 inches in rib pattern (unstretched), using the smaller needles 30 stitches and 14 rows = 3½ inches by 2⅛ inches in cable stitch pattern, using the larger needles SIZES Baby (Adult) To fit head circumference 14–16 (20–23) inches NOTES When knitting the body of the hat, I found it helpful to separate each repeat (30 stitches) of the cable pattern with a stitch marker. (Just be sure to use a different color marker for the end of the round!) Alternatively, you could knit the whole hat on double pointed needles and put each repeat on its own double pointed needle.
