November Cabled Hat

As the weather gets colder and the holidays get closer, I wanted to write a pattern for a quick but impressive-looking accessory for quick gift giving. Since it is made from super thick Cascade Lana Grande, the November Cabled hat knits up in a jiff, but the wide cables make it look elegant and involved. One size is super stretchy and fits nearly everyone in my house from my husband to my 6-year-old. If you want it longer, simply put in a few extra rows of the 2x2 ribbing.

1 set of 4 double pointed needles in size US 13
1 ball of Cascade Lana Grande
Yarn needle
