Lionheart
Lionheart pattern is free to download! Happy Knitting! :)
Lionheart is a cabled hat with wide brim. The wide ribbing produces a slouchy hat, but if you prefer a tighter hat you can wear it with folded brim. The optional tubular cast-on provides a beautiful, elastic hem.
Gauge
25 sts and 23 rounds = 10x10 cm/4”x4” in Lionheart Cable Pattern knit in the round with needle A after blocking
Base gauge: 17 sts and 23 rounds = 10x10 cm/4”x4” in Stockinette Stitch knit in the round with needle A after blocking
Obtaining the correct gauge is not crucial, but any differences will affect the size of the finished hat.
