Want a hat that will keep your ears warm this winter, or just want to have fun playing with cable? Well this is the hat for you! This hat can use worsted or aran weight yarn and is knit in the round from ribbing up to crown using a basic 4 stitch cable. It is knit with a double length ribbing so it may be cuffed to keep ears extra cozy on cold days or worn long and slouchy. And what’s a hat without a Pom Pom?!?! The finishing touch (if desired) is the pompom which is sewn in at the end after wash and blocking. The Pattern for this hat is written Chart Only.
