Twisted stitches and faux cables galore! Pointedly basically designed itself, you begin with a faux cable ribbing then the cables flow around to create the geometric motifs that eventually turn into the crown decreases. This hat works up super-fast and keeps your interest because every other round has you sending the stitches off in all sorts of directions. Although this may sound a bit like chaos, the patterning is really very intuitive.

Knit in the luxurious (but totally affordable) Road to China Light, Pointedly has strong geometric motifs that provides a stark contrast to the buttery-soft yarn. This combination gives structure to the fabric and the cabled points are slightly softened by the lovely halo from the yarn.

You’ll be the envy of your knitting group with this quick, fun knit!
