This pattern is included in the standalone pattern for Athena.

Knit from a luxurious blend of New Zealand merino and possum, this intriguing hat combines a moving 8-stitch cable that becomes the bottom band with a not-too-lacy eyelet stitch that looks much more complicated than it actually is. The crown of the hat is constructed in an innovative segment technique, resulting in a hat that is as interesting to knit as it is fun to wear.
