The Pangloss hat offers the “best of all possible worlds” with both simple stranded colorwork and cables. The hat is worked from the bottom up beginning with an easy 2-color target design flanked by garter stitch. The cable and rib pattern is worked with larger needles for a slouchy fit. The hat is finished with a pompom for a touch of whimsy. This pattern coordinates with the Pangloss Mitts and if worked together, only 3 skeins of the main color and 1 skein of the contrasting color are required. The colorwork portion is charted and both charts and written instructions are provided for the cable and rib pattern.

Colorwork Gauge on #2 (2.75mm) needles is 28st/36rows in 4in
