Because of the double brim this hat will keep your ears warm.
This hat is knitted in the round in stockinette stitch and it has an XO cable section.
Starting with Provisional Cast on, you knit a beautiful Twisted rib that will be folded before starting knitting the body of the hat.

Bariloche Sky Cabled Hat by AndriKnitsaLot
What is Being Made
The Bariloche Sky is a warm, cabled knit hat designed by Andrea Petrone of AndriKnitsaLot. This intermediate-level project creates a finished hat measuring 10½ inches in length with a 19½-inch circumference, sized to comfortably fit average adult head sizes 20-23 inches. The design features a distinctive double brim construction that provides extra warmth and ear coverage, making it an ideal accessory for cold weather conditions.
Knitting Techniques and Construction
The Bariloche Sky is worked entirely in the round using circular needles, which creates a seamless construction. The hat begins with a Provisional Cast On technique, allowing for a professional finish at the brim. The pattern incorporates a Twisted Rib section that provides structure and elasticity to the hat's opening. The design features a prominent cable section worked from a chart, adding visual texture and interest to the finished piece. The body of the hat is worked in stockinette stitch, a fundamental knitting stitch that creates a smooth, classic fabric.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette stitch for the main body
- Twisted Rib for the brim section
- Cable stitches (indicated by XO notation on the chart)
Materials and Gauge
This hat requires 150 yards (137 meters) of bulky yarn, which equals approximately 1 skein. The pattern is photographed in Hinterland Watershed yarn, a premium blend composed of 50% Camelid Alpaca and 50% Rambouillet Snow Wool, offering warmth and softness ideal for close-fitting headwear.
The recommended gauge is 11-13 stitches over 10 centimeters (4 inches), which should be measured over stockinette stitch to ensure proper fit and drape.
Needles and Tools
Construction requires two different needle sizes to accommodate the varying stitch densities throughout the hat:
- Two circular 5mm (US 8) needles for the brim section
- One circular 6mm (US 10) needle for the body of the hat
Additional tools needed include waste yarn for the provisional cast on, stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats, a cable needle (CN) for crossing stitches in the cable sections, and a blunt tapestry needle for weaving in ends and finishing.
Pattern Notes
Knitters should note that the cable chart is read from right to left, following standard chart reading conventions for in-the-round knitting. The double brim construction is a key design feature that distinguishes this hat, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional warmth for the ears and lower face area.
