This lovely textured hat features a cable-like, but not cabled bubble pattern. The bubbles diminish towards the crown of the hat, creating a lovely starburst.
A quick knit in about half a skein of worsted, and it keeps you warm and stylish as well!
It also matches one of the stitches in the Cable No Cable Cowl, and can be bought together at a 30% discount.
