Sidewinder Hat

Inspired by a love for traditional winding cables and thick, cozy hats, the Sidewinder beanie is a beautifully designed accessory that merges functionality with style. This slouchy beanie features a wide cabled panel that elegantly runs across its surface, allowing for intricate detailing that stands out. Perfect for cool weather, the Sidewinder not only keeps you warm but also adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

To get started with the Sidewinder beanie, the unique cabled panel is first knit flat, providing an engaging and enjoyable knitting experience. Once completed, the ends of the panel are joined to form the comfortable circumference of the brim. The design continues as stitches are picked up around the top edge of the brim, and the knitting transitions to the round to create the slouchy, versatile top of the hat. This pattern is suitable for knitters of various skill levels, as the stitch pattern is thoughtfully presented in both written and charted formats, ensuring clarity and ease of understanding.

Sample is in 18" size
