This sophisticated hat is worked in two parts. First, you’ll knit the cabled body flat. After blocking and seaming it, you’ll pick up stitches for the crown. This method leads to a set of beautiful horizontal cables and a fun, slouchy hat that will have everyone asking where you bought it.

To knit this hat, you’ll need to know how to cable, how to sew, how to pick up stitches and how to decrease.
