The stitch pattern used makes this hat very stretchy
Gauge
16 sts and 20 rows to 10cm (4in) over 2 x 2 rib stitch on 5mm needles after blocking
18 sts and 20 rows to 10cm (4in) over cable stitch pattern on 5mm needles after blocking
Note on gauge: This hat is worked on a tight gauge, which is made tighter by the cables. This produces a very thick and warm fabric. If you are a tight knitter, try going up a needle size, and vice versa if you are a loose knitter. Although we normally recommend 6mm needles for this yarn this project calls for 5mm needles to create a sturdy fabric.
