Winter Dreamer Hat

A quick and fun knit, perfect for last-minute gifting or a relaxing weekend project after a hectic week. This is a bulky version of my previously published [worsted weight design][1]. The Winter Dreamer hat features a unique and striking ribbed cable pattern. Bulky/Chunky weight wool creates plump stitch definition and makes this a quick and satisfying knit. The special cables create a 4X1 rib that expands once blocked, so it’s highly recommended that you use a natural fiber, instead of acrylic or a high percentage acrylic blend. Yardage: Approximately 110 yards of Bulky weight yarn Sizing: The pattern is written to fit an average adult: 20" to 22" circumference Blocked Hat measurements: 8.5” wide at brim, 9” depth *Note: A stretchy cast on is critical for the ribbed brim. This is what makes the hat accommodating to a wider range of head sizes. Practice this technique with the video tutorial. I promise you, it's fun and addictive!* Pattern includes a **chart** as well as **written** instructions. A link to video tutorials on the tubular cast-on and cable stitches is also provided. This pattern includes an “open license” which allows the knitter to sell the finished item. _______________________________________________________ **A huge thank-you to all of my wonderful testers on this hat!
