Notes from the Designer:
Sona is a simple, cabled hat with a ribbed edging. I tapped into my Irish heritage for this pattern and chose the Irish word Sona for the name. Sona (SUN-a) means happy, lucky, fortunate, and may fortune smile. As I was creating this design, I often found myself smiling and thinking about how fortunate I am to be surrounded with happy and supportive people. The word Sona is included in a proverb that reflects the sense of fortune I have found. This proverb is roughly translated as "the lucky man waits for the lucky moment.” My lucky or fortunate moment is now, and I am enjoying being able to share that fortune through my designs.
- Both original version samples were made with our Dewy DK yarn in color Solitude. The Large size used 170 yds (155.5 m), and the Medium size used 138 yds (126 m).
- Gauge is very crucial to this project. Take time throughout to make sure that your tension is consistent, and adjust hook size if needed.
- Pattern is worked from top down.
- The updated version of the pattern added three additional rounds before adding the edging.
- The pattern uses the Magic Ring method to begin. Alternative beginning instructions are included.

"Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.” – Helen Keller
