Design
Designed to compliment the Walk through Aspens Cowl.
Winter Aspens works up lightning fast in super bulky yarn. Worked in the round from the bottom up. Long bands of slipped stitches surround the wide center panels, featuring a beautiful and intriguing cable motif. The pattern is written in one size. (see below) For a smaller hat, drop down one needle size. For a larger hat, go up one needle size. All repeats appear in bold text throughout pattern for easier reading. The pattern is charted and also includes separate written instructions.
