Wingate is a richly textured hat with styling options for everyone. Choose from a single or double brim and beanie style or taller classic toque. Wingate is knit with worsted weight yarn and available in three adult sizes.

I knit two Wingate hats, both with Brooklyn Tweed Ranch 02: Forbes. This Rambouillet yarn is plump and round, perfect for cables and making twisted stitches “pop”.

Yardage requirements above are for a folded 4” brim, and the taller, four repeat style hat. Subtract 20 (24, 28) yds for a single 2.25” brim and/or subtract the same amount if you choose to only knit three repeats for a shorter, beanie style hat.

Needles
US 8 / 5 mm or size needed to get gauge, 16” circular needle and DPN’s or longer circular needle for working decreases using magic loop

US 6 / 4 mm or two sizes smaller than needle used to get gauge, 16” circular needle for ribbing

Notions
Removable stitch markers, cable needle, tapestry needle

Gauge
Using US 8 / 5mm needle, 17 sts and 26 rnds =
4” / 10 cm in k1 tbl, p1 pattern, knit in the round, after blocking.
Note: The finished circumference of your hat will be smaller than this gauge. The cables will pull in on the fabric, but will still allow for plenty of stretch.
