A slouch hat with Celtic snowflake cabling.

One-size - 20” at brim

2 balls of Drops Air used (or 190m of any aran weight yarn)

Gauge = 21st and 27 rows to 10cm of stockinette

3mm and 3.5mm circular/dpn needed, as well as a stitch holder and cable needle (or spare dpn).

Notes: the pattern comes with a full photo tutorial (so don’t print it all!). Obviously, some experience with cables would be helpful but the tutorial is designed for the complete novice. Anything over a knit/purl stitch has step-by-step instructions and I am available at bee@bumbleandbrush.co.uk if you need additional help ☺️

The pattern is a chart with written instructions for the unusual bits.
