The Slip Cable Hat is worked in a round from the brim up. The crown decreases flow naturally from the slip stitch cable columns of the hat’s body and create a flower shape at the top of the hat. Made using a springy Worsted weight yarn, this unisex hat is a quick knit and is suitable for an advanced beginner.
