Winter Woods Hat

When it's cold outside, there's nothing I love more than a warm, cozy woollen hat. The WINTER WOODS hat features a lovely and easy to work cable pattern and comes in two versions - one with bobbles and one without - so you can choose the one that's just right for you! It is made with one strand of silk mohair held together with a wonderful non-superwash woollen sock yarn. The result is a super squishy fabric with great stitch definition. WINTER WOODS comes in 5 sizes, so there's one to fit everyone from a small child to adults. This pattern was professionally tech edited and test knit before the release. **TWO VERSIONS INCLUDED** There are two versions of this hat included in the pattern: **version A** features only the zig-zag cable pattern while **version B** also has a floral motive including bobbles. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) with a finished circumference of 40 (45, 50, 55, 60) cm 15.75 (17.75, 19.75, 21.75, 23.5) " **CHOOSING A SIZE** The WINTER WOODS hat is intended to be worn with 5 - 7 cm / 2 - 2.75 " of negative ease around the largest part of your head. When in doubt or if you are using superwash yarn I recommend to rather size down than up. **YARN** This pattern is worked holding 2 strands of yarn at all times: 1 strand of Mondim and 1 strand of silk mohair. 1 ball of Retrosaria Mondim (100 g, 385 m / 421 yds, 100% portuguese wool) **VERSION A:** color B571 **VERSION B:** color 303 AND 1 (2, 2, 2, 2) ball(s) of a typical silk mohair yarn like e.g. **VERSION A:** Knitting For Olive Soft Silk Mohair (70% Mohair, 30% Silk, 25 g, 225 m / 246 yds) color Petroleum Green **VERSION B:** Isager Silk Mohair (75% Kid Mohair, 25% Silk, 25 g, 212 m / 232 yds) color 32 **GAUGE** 32 sts and 32 rounds = 10cm / 4" in cable pattern measured after blocking without stretching the fabric. **NEEDLES** 4 mm (or size to obtain gauge with) and 3.5 mm **TOOLS** A tapestry needle for weaving in the ends.
