Needles & finishing tools
Hat · worked flat: Flat-knit hat: one pair of 6mm straight needles. No circular cable or DPNs are needed. No additional specialised tool is specified for the flat-knit hat.
Hat · in the round: Hat in the round: 6mm circular needles, 40cm long, and a set of 6mm double-pointed needles. Both packages include Prym KnitPro Natural DPNs. A stitch marker is required for the hat worked in the round.
Cable bib: Cable bib: 7mm straight needles plus 7mm circular needles, 40cm long, for the neckband. Both packages use Symfonie 2 short tips for the circular needle; choose Zing or Symfonie straight needles. A cable needle and stitch marker are required. Use the 6mm needle from the offered 6mm/8mm cable-needle pair to hold the cable stitches.
The selected circular setup includes the labelled cable and compatible tips: 40cm with short 10cm tips, or 80cm with regular 13cm tips where specified. For projects with two circular needle sizes, transfer the same cable between tip pairs when changing needle size. End caps and a key are supplied with the cable.
A tapestry needle, measuring tape and scissors are useful finishing tools; these are not automatically added.
Tension & care
Hat: 18 stitches × 21 rows or rounds to 10cm over rib using 6mm needles, unstretched.
Bib: 13 stitches × 16 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch using 7mm needles. The blocked 40-stitch cable panel should measure 21cm.
Make a tension square and adjust your needle size if needed. Follow the yarn labels for care instructions.

Before you begin
Can I make both designs?
Yes. Add the first project, then return and select the second. Include the pattern once and untick it for the second addition. Each project has its own yarn requirement; do not assume one allocation covers both.
Can I use my own tools or pattern?
Yes. Select only what you need. For circular knitting, check you have the correct needle size and finished cable length before choosing own cables.
