The Snowy Creek Hat and Cowl are each 20% off with the code snowy through December 19.

The Snowy Creek Hat features a main cable that is replicated around the hat and sandwiched in between columns of twists. The cables and twists culminate in a unique crown. This is an intermediate level hat, worked from the bottom up. The body of the hat uses only 2/2 and 1/1 cables. The crown uses a few special cable decreases.

Snowy Creek also comes in a matching cowl: Snowy Creek Cowl. You can get both patterns for $9.00 (no code needed).

The pattern has been test knit and tech edited.
