Trig Hat

A quick and satisfying cable beanie from Kiniki Knits that looks considerably more impressive than the effort it requires. The Trig Hat features bold, chunky 'ball' and 'wheat' cables that decrease neatly into the crown — a design detail that gives the finished hat a polished, structured look while keeping the knitting well within beginner reach. Worked in the round from the bottom up in bulky yarn (or DK held double), it's the kind of hat that gets finished in an evening and worn the next morning.

The pattern is designed to accommodate a range of gauges, giving you control over the final fit. A tighter gauge (14 sts / 10 cm) produces a smaller hat with a neat, close fit; a looser gauge (13 sts / 10 cm) gives a larger hat with a more relaxed silhouette and additional slouch at the crown. If you're working the fold-over option, the fold point can be adjusted to fine-tune the fit further.
