Construction: Cresmont uses slipped stitch cables to create a cabled hat that is relatively quick to work up with worsted weight yarn. The cables and twisted stitches are all worked over 3- or 2- stitches and are designed to be easily done without the use of a cable needle. The Cresmont pattern offers instructions for three sizes.
