Cables and lace combine to create this wonderfully textured hat. Patterned allover, the ribbing transitions organically to the lace and cables, while the crown decreases are incorporated into the cabling, creating a smooth, clean movement toward the center of the hat.

Directions on how to make the pattern slouchier, if desired, are included into the pattern. As always, there are written and charted directions, plus information on how to get the most out of one skein.
