As a loose knitter, I usually size down my needles, and rarely knit a gauge swatch for hats.

However, this yarn is more aran weight, much different than suggest cascade 220, so I didn’t want too tight of a gauge or too large of an FO (for my grandma).

I opted to use recommended needles (for a rather tight gauge, nice for a hat, IMO) and use stitch counts for child’s size to achieve an adult-sized hat. So far, so good!

Knit 7 repeats of large cable before beginning decreases for crown.

Used less than a skein of yarn, making this a very economical (& beautiful) yarn choice
