This is the sixteenth addition to the 7 Hats More ebook. It is also a bonus addition!

As a designer sometimes patterns write themselves. As a designer working at a yarn store a new yarn can be a hazard! The yarn arrives at the store and I can “see” what it can be instantly! And I must knit it up just as instantly!

Curves and Crossovers was just such a hat! I could see big round cables and stitches curving up and around the hat, soft touchable cables.

The yarn is a scrumptious Merino and Angora blend – Juniper Moon Farms Beatrix. But I want to try this pattern with a chunky wool and a laceweight mohair held together. Or maybe, the Drops Snow for big defined cables. It knits fast and would make a great Christmas Gift!

Materials: 137 yds, heavy chunky, sample was knit with Juniper Moon Beatrix, 5.5mm US #9 16 inch circs and 7.0mm US #10.75 16 inch circs and dpns, 5/8 inch button (vintage button from my stash), cable hook, markers and the regular notions.
