This ‘Autumn Moon Beanie’ uses two types of cable crosses in opposing directions to create a fun and engaging texture. This hat has a circular cable design near the brim and then again at the top that blends into the crown. I think they mimic the rising moon and I envision this hat to be perfect for fall evenings.
