Abuabu hat

Abuabu hat can be worn on both sides, the right side cables correspond with the cable on Abuabu mittens. The wong side aspect is more delicate, it forms a unique yet lovely pattern.

The pattern is written in five sizes, the hat can be worked as a beanie or slouch hat.

The size can also be adjusted by going up or down a needle size, or by changing the yarn weight and adjusting the needles accordingly.

Level: Adventurous beginner or intermediate. The hat is knit in the round. The pattern uses long-tail cast on, slipped stitches, basic cables, yarnovers.

The instructions are both written and charted.

Needle size and notions: US 6 / 4mm and US 7 / 4.5mm circulars or DPNs, a cable needle and a marker.

Gauge: 17 sts and 23 rows in stockinette with larger size needles. If necessary, go up a needle size to get the gauge.

Yarn suggested: Aran weight yarn that meets the gauge, 50 - 100g. My sample is adult small and it was done in Drops Alaska, I used 75g / 116 yards / 105m.
