Description
The Trex Hat is a stylishly modern hat, knitted in the round with intricate cables flowing up from the brim. Work from charts or written instructions.
Working Title for the hat was XXX hat, because the crossing cables are looking like X’s. So I came up with >Triple X > Tr X > Trex Hat.

The pattern is tech edited by woollenwords and test knitted by some great knitters (check the lovely projects).
