Deluge Hat is an angular cable and twisted stitches cap with excellent squish and stretch. The hat is knit in DK weight yarn and is also delightful using fingering weight held together with a suri or mohair lace.

I have included 2 sizes as there is a good deal of stretch in the stitch pattern. The instructions are offered in both written and charted format. And I’ve also included 4 different length options.
