The Staircase Trail Hat is a fast knit with a classic result. This hat is worked in the round with a garter stitch band and cables to the crown. The pattern includes five sizes; 16 – 22½ inches in circumference. Since the garter stitch band is not at stretchy as a ribbed band, choose a size that is at least one inch smaller than the circumference of the wearer’s head. The hat is shown in Jorstad Creek’s Marrowstone, a 4-ply DK superwash merino. An adult size hat uses about 150 yards. A few of the other yarns that would work well with this pattern are Debbie Bliss Rialto Yarn Collective Bloomsbury Berroco Ultra Alpaca Lite Malabrigo Dos Tierra I would choose a DK yarn with a lot of wool so there is stretchiness in the garter stitch band.
