Like a dandelion blossoming in the afternoon sun a twisted stitch cable grows, blooms, and shrinks back down only to twist and reemerge again.

Construction notes
Basic hat construction from the twisted rib brim to the gathered crown keeps this project simple while showing off the blooming cable that runs up one side.

Notions
4 markers including 1 unique for start of round (or a comfort with reading your knitting)
tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Skills
knit and purl
k2tog, ssk, k3tog, sssk
twisted stitches
cabling

I want to thank Margot Schips (mango on Ravelry) for providing the technical editing.
