The Wawona Hat, worked in bulky yarn, features a lovely 1/1 cable pattern. Work it with or without the pom pom.

The airy Victorian-era design of the Wawona Hotel, located near the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias in Yosemite park, contrasts sharply with the grander, grounded-in-the-elements Ahwanhee Hotel.
