Well this pattern has cables within cables! There are just so many! The outer cables create almost a honeycomb effect with delicate little cables just peeking out from underneath, like they’re dancing with each other. It is a pattern that requires a little concentration but the cables are worked in such a way that they give a very intricate effect whilst remaining relatively straightforward to knit (for cables). The graceful cables carry on right to the tip of the crown allowing you to remove the pompom if they’re not to your taste.

The hat is knitted in the round and instructions are both written and fully charted for your preference.
