Cables A-side

Discover the unique charm of this beautifully crafted knitted hat made from a high-quality, unnamed pure merino wool yarn that I salvaged from a sale bucket. After experiencing a dyeing accident, the wool now showcases an intriguing color palette, enhanced by lighter bars. This variation not only adds visual interest but also beautifully complements the hat's intricate motifs. The hat features an unusual construction and is skillfully knitted in the round using a 16” (40 cm) circular needle along with double-pointed needles (DPNs) from the bottom up. A standout feature is the tall ribbed border, which is cleverly divided into two sections. The first section is folded under the second, providing additional warmth and comfort for those chilly days. Cables continue gracefully on the crown, creating a stunning visual that transitions smoothly into a unique decrease pattern positioned on either side of the cables. This design is perfect for knitters looking to elevate their skills while creating a warm, stylish accessory. Ideal for both experienced crafters and adventurous beginners, this knitting pattern will guide you through each step, ensuring your finished hat is not only functional but also a fashionable statement piece. Whether you’re looking for your next project or a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this knitted hat pattern is a must-try. Embrace your creativity and delight in the process of making this one-of-a-kind accessory!
