Description

Huddle is a wonderfully warm cable hat knitting pattern, designed to keep out the cold on the bleakest mid-winter days.  The dense stitches, doubled trim, and beginner-friendly texture make this pattern a joy to knit, as well as accessible to knitters who’d like to try cable knitting for the first time.

You can also team it with the Fond mittens and Assembly scarf for a set of timeless knitted accessories.

Three sizes are provided in the Huddle pattern, but if you wish to make further adjustments, here are some suggestions. To alter the depth, you can simply change how much of the turn-back is turned back!

Alternatively, you can add or remove a 12-row section of basket weave pattern in the body of the hat. You will then need to tweak how you work the crown shaping pattern so that the garter stitch and rib sections match up correctly.

Construction of the Huddle cable hat pattern

The Huddle hat starts with a cable trim that is knitted back and forth as a long strip. Stitches are picked up along one edge of this strip and the basket weave and rib turn-back is worked back and forth before switching to larger needles and working the same pattern for the body of the hat. The crown is then shaped with decreases before the hat is seamed to finish.

To alter the circumference, you can use a larger or smaller needle to change the gauge. Do knit a swatch if you choose this approach and check that you are happy with the knitted fabric.

Yarn choices for the Huddle hat

The sample was knitted with Something to Knit with Aran.  Unfortunately this yarn is now discontinued.  However, any Aran yarn with a stocking stitch/stockingette tension of 18 sts x 24 rows to 10cm will be an excellent substitute.  Please visit YarnSub for more guidance, and make sure you knit a test swatch!
