Parade Hat
DISCOVER THE PARADE HAT KNITTING PATTERN
The Parade Hat is a delightful knitting project featuring striking bold cables that lend a touch of sophistication. These unique cables begin at the brim's rib section and gracefully flow upwards, continuing through the crown’s decreases until the point of closure. This hat is not only a visual treat but also an engaging knit, making it an excellent option for a quick, thoughtful gift for friends or family. Designed to cater to a variety of head sizes, this pattern is available in three different sizes. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, you’ll find that the cables are presented in both fully charted and written formats. Originally published in the Interweave Knits Gifts 2019 magazine, this pattern has returned to me, allowing for fresh revisions and a new publication!
