Written for the Wild and Wooly 2023 Yarn Crawl, the Cables and Rib Hat is the perfect introduction to cables for the adventurous beginner! With a folded 3x3 rib this hat will keep you warm
throughout the coldest months of the year. The ribbing transitions beautifully into the cable and rib design. The cable features one left and one right leaning cross, which is perfect for a beginner to
advance their skills and easy to memorize for more advanced knitters.
