Details
The beautiful cable patterns of this hat evoke the intricate carved knotwork of the Kildalton Celtic Cross on Islay in Scotland. The Kildalton Hat is worked in the round from the bottom up and features a box stitch pattern, baby X-O cables, and an elaborate knotwork cable at the center front and back of the hat. The cables extend into the hat’s ribbing as well as the crown decreases for a pleasing and harmonious effect. The hat is topped with an optional pompom.
This pattern includes five sizes: baby (16” head circumference), toddler (17.5” head circumference), child (19” head circumference), adult small (21” head circumference), adult large (23” head circumference).
The gauge is 20 sts and 28 rounds = 4” in Stockinette Stitch.
The center cable is 28 sts and 34 rounds = 4” in cable pattern.
This pattern is recommended for intermediate knitters. You must be able to use various cable techniques and standard decrease stitches, and you will need be able to follow cable charts. The pattern will include three separate charts: the hat ribbing, the main body of the hat, and the crown decreases. The unique and stunning results are well worth the challenge of this pattern!
This pattern includes cable charts for each hat size.
