The pattern available on KnitPicks is slightly different than the pattern download here, specifically in the hat band. This file also includes some expanded instructions on how to graft on needles, and a few more hints on how to make the large cable easier to execute.

The cowl in the photo is Rabi and can be bought here, as well.

Undulating texture echoes Arabic geometric art in this representation of the confluence of styles from Cordoba, Spain, under Moorish occupation between the 9th and 11th centuries. This turban-style hat is knit in one piece, beginning with a singularly cabled band that is worked flat, and then grafted together. The crown is picked up from this band and worked in the round, creating a seamless accessory in four sizes. Stitch pattern is both written and charted.
