This gorgeous hat is full of texture, beginning with twisted ribbing at the brim which transitions into beautiful cables. Circular stockinette cables alternate with oval seed stitch cables throughout the main hat to create a beautiful pattern.

The hat is worked from the brim up in the round beginning with 1×1 twisted ribbing of alternating lengths which blends into the cable pattern on the main hat. Cables use two cable needles. Crown decreases are worked into the cable pattern.
