I decided to create a series of hat patterns meant to help knitters master two skills. Gauge and cables. Why those two?

First, if you haven’t mastered gauge, you’ll never purposefully make a piece that fits.

Second, cables look intimidating but are actually easy. And fun. So we’re combining a necessary skill with a fun skill to keep things interesting.
