Always Hat Super Chunky is worked in the round with a two stitch cable pattern in the brim. The hat is intended to be worn with the brim turned up. The brim is worked inside out with the cables worked with the purl stitches. The cables can be worked without a cable needle for a quicker knit, or a cable needle can be used if you prefer.

You will need to be able to work in the round, cable with purl stitches, and knit 2 together.
