If you’re looking for a hat with a unique stitch pattern, you’re in luck. The cable braid along the brim of this hat is fun to knit and produces gorgeous results. Knit the brim to the desired length to ensure a perfect fit. An I-cord trim finishes off the edging with a crisp, neat border.

Note: A very astute knitter has discovered an error in the chart/key for Blue Spruce Hat. Please use the written instructions for the brim as these are correct.
I will update the pattern as soon as possible.
