Cabled Hat and Wrap

Perfect for autumn! The wrap is great over a coat or a sweater...and with the matching hat, Oh Yeah!

SIZE: One Size
Wrap Finished Size 12 x 50 in. (30.5 x 127 cm)

MATERIALS
• 135-113 Lion Brand Hometown USATM Yarn: Cincinnati Red 6 Balls
• Knitting Needles Size 15 [10 mm]
• Cable Needles (Set of 2)
• Large-Eye Blunt Needles
• Additional Materials
(4 balls for Wrap, 2 balls for Hat)
GAUGE: 12 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in Cable pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
