Picture this: my dearest friend Jerrah and I, two knitting enthusiasts, had never dabbled in the magical world of lace mohair running alongside regular yarn for a project. The horror, I know!

So, as we embarked on this thrilling journey together, it was only fitting to name the pattern after the lovely Jerrah herself. It’s like a friendship bracelet, but with more yarn and less, well, bracelet.

Now, I must admit, I am a sucker for cabled hats. No, seriously, I can’t resist them. They’re like catnip for knitting enthusiasts, and I’m definitely not immune to their charm. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to unleash my inner yarn wizard and play around with some fun cables. And let me tell you—our knitting needles have never seen such excitement!

Worked from the bottom up, this versatile hat pattern allows you to craft a perfectly fitting hat seamlessly in the round. The construction involves starting with the brim, progressing to the body, and culminating with shaping the crown. As you approach the final stages of the crown, you’ll need to switch from using 16” / 40 cm circular needles to either the magic loop method or double-pointed needles, depending on your preference for tackling smaller circumferences.
