This skein was very bulky, so using the same pattern Classic Cabled Hat by Destiny Meyer, I didn’t increase the number of stitches to get a larger hat because I was afraid it would make it too big since I was using a heavier yarn and I went up to a size 11 needle. I then had to figure out how many cables I could make for the length of the hat, and decided 2 and 5 rows going toward the 3rd cable and then to start the decreases. It turned out perfect. It so heavy it will be too warm to wear if the weather is above 0 :P. Because it is such a thick yarn I made the cuff the length I needed it to be without folding up. Hope it keeps him warm if we have anymore below 0 weather, which we should. We are in a third week of above average temps, in the 40’s and even up to 50 this coming week. Usually our mid winter thaw is 2 weeks, and our snow has melted mostly but not totally where they piled it up plowing driveways.
Hope you all have a great Sunday!

This hat is soft, but the lighter weight hat was softer.

No doubt he will. There’s something special about cables and bulky yarn.
