A tangle of intertwining cables gives this hat both texture and elegance. The design features vertical columns of asymmetric cables that flow seamlessly from the ribbed brim to the crown, creating a fluid, architectural look. The rhythmic cable pattern makes for an engaging knit with satisfying results.

Worked in the round from the bottom up, the hat combines warmth, structure, and stretch, ensuring a comfortable fit.
