Knit a Cabled Hat (Cityscape Series)

  • 21 W. Strand St. Kingston US (map)

One class on a Thurs eve in February

Promo! Register for all three Cityscape project classes and receive a $20 store credit to use after your third class.

Learn to cable or refresh your cabling skills while making the elegant Cityscape Hat by Tori Yu. In this one-off class we’ll cast on together and work on the cabled brim of the hat. You’ll leave with all the skills you need to finish. This hat is part of the Cityscape collection.

We’ll be knitting through the whole collection over the next few months so by the beginning of April you’ll have a gorgeous set of hat, cowl, and fingerless mitts to get you through the end of chilly spring days. You’re also welcome to join us for a single project of your choice. 

For a Kingston-specific Cityscape Set, use Jill Draper’s Kingston yarn which is the perfect weight for this project!

In this 2 hour class you will learn:

  • How to knit in the round

  • How to cable in the round

  • How to read a pattern and follow a chart 

  • How to transition to magic loop for your decreases (demoed, you will not get to this point in your hat in our two hours together)

Please note due to the slow nature of knitting you will not finish this project in class, but will leave with all the skills needed to be able to finish.

  • Cast on

  • Size US 4 circular needles with a 16” cable and 36”+ cable (or whatever needle size needed to make gauge) **if you are making the full set we highly recommend you use interchangeable needles for the projects.
