The hats are worked in the round from the bottom up. They resemble my “Garter and Gulls Scarf”, exploring variations of the “gull’ or ‘gull cable’ stitch, a set of cross-overs that can be worked either by dropping sts intentionally, or by using a traditional cable needle. In my knitting, I used the drop-stitch method but you can choose the method that suits your comfort level and experience.
