This is a lovely faux cable hat which is deceptively easy to knit. I have supplied links to my YouTube tutorials covering the techniques mentioned. The result is a soft, squishy hat with loads of texture.
It is knitted from the bottom up starting with a plain brioche stitch fold over brim.
The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted to ensure you have the best possible knitting experience.
