Written in both children’s and adult sizes, this cabled slouchy beanie works well for men, women, boys and girls.Choose a skein of worsted weight yarn from the stash and settle in for your own snow day, complete with a bit of knitting. If the storm lasts a while, the whole family could have their own Snow Day hat.

Snow Day Knit Hat by Stacked Woolens
Project Overview
Snow Day is a downloadable knitting pattern for a cabled slouchy beanie designed by Meridith Shepherd and published by Stacked Woolens. This intermediate-level knit hat celebrates cozy winter moments and is written in three sizes to fit children and adults. The pattern accommodates child, adult small, and adult large head circumferences, making it versatile for gift-giving or personal collection building.
What Is Being Made
The Snow Day hat is a slouchy beanie featuring cable knit details. The design works well for men, women, boys, and girls across all three available sizes. The finished hat dimensions range from 16 inches to 20 inches in circumference, with 2 inches of negative ease built into the design for a comfortable, slightly snug fit that prevents the hat from slipping.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
This pattern employs cable knitting as its primary stitch technique, creating textured, dimensional details throughout the hat. The construction uses circular knitting methods, transitioning from circular needles to double-pointed needles (DPNs) as the crown decreases. The slouchy silhouette is achieved through the combination of cable patterns and the hat's relaxed fit design.
Materials and Tools Required
- Yarn: Madelinetosh Vintage in the colorway Citrus (100% superwash Merino, 100 g, 200 yards/182 meters per skein) – one skein is sufficient for this project
- Needles: US 8 (5.00 mm) 16-inch circular needle and US 8 (5.00 mm) double-pointed needles
- Notions: Stitch marker, yarn needle for weaving in ends, and optional cable needle (pattern includes guidance on working cables without a separate cable needle)
Yarn Weight and Difficulty Level
Snow Day is designed for worsted and aran weight yarns, making it an accessible project for knitters with intermediate skill level. The pattern's use of cable stitches requires familiarity with cable techniques, but the straightforward construction and clear sizing options make it manageable for knitters progressing beyond beginner projects.
