SPECIFICATIONS
YARN: The Fibre Co. Cumbria (90% wool, 10% mohair.
238 yds/100 gm skein): scaffel pike (01), 1 skein.
GAUGE: 1 patt repeat (20 sts) = 2.75” (7 cm), and 28 rnds =
4“ (10 cm) in Cable pattern, after blocking.
NEEDLES: 1 - 16” (40 cm) US 4 (3.5 mm) circular. 1 - 16”
(40 cm) US 6 (4 mm) circular and set dpns, or needle size
to obtain gauge.
NOTIONS: Spare circular needle in comparable size (see
worthy of note), crochet hook and smooth waste yarn

9” (22.75 cm) height.
SKILLS: Provisional cast-on, reading cable patterns from
charts (see useful tips).
WORTHY OF NOTE
This hat begins with a provisional cast on, then a deep
folded brim is worked in a 2x2 rib. Once the ribbing is
complete, the provisional cast on is unpicked and placed
on a spare circular needle and the stitches are joined to
created a folded brim. While I found it easy to place the
provisionally cast-on stitches onto my larger needle,
you may find it necessary to transfer the stitches to a
2nd smaller needle if the stitches are too small to fit
comfortably on the larger needle.
When working from the Body Chart on Rnd 13, and the
Decrease Chart on Rnd 3, you will need to remove and
replace the locking EOR marker in order to work the
final C4L. If you choose to place markers identifying the
pattern repeat, you will need to remove and replace each
marker in order to work the C4L that the marker divides.
Unique abbreviations are listed on pg. 3. For additional
commonly used abbreviations in this and other KW
patterns, visit: kelbournewoolens.com/abbreviations.
