Babel Hat
Welcome to the Babel Hat, a tower of chunky stitches inspired by Fritz Lang’s Metropolis and the Art Deco era.
Soft & strong, this is an excellent quick knit. One size for adult heads.
Gauge can be a tricky thing with cables. When finished the hat will be squanched up. I’m giving a rule of 3.5 sts per inch in cable. You can block to the measurements given in pattern. But blocking is not necessary.
I used our Stitch & Make Yarn Company (or SAM for short)
STOCK yarn for this hat. It’s a delightful chonker of ultra fine merino wool. Soft as can be and plant dyed. In pattern is our Logan colorway. A logwood dusty grey plum color.
If making a pom pom to match then 2 skeins are necessary. Substitutions are listed in pattern but any bulky soft high quality yarn with a minimum of 110 yards would do.
This hat requires US9 (5.5mm) 16” circular needle. US10.5 (6.5mm) 16” circular needle, Pair of US10.5 (6.5mm) Dbl point needles. and if needed a medium sized cable needle.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and as always Happy Knitting!
