INSPIRATION
Just in time for some selfish knitting!
Firs, spruces and pines are the trees of the winter holiday season and an inspiration for this cabled hat - the pattern comes in two versions - knit a more fashionable hat or a cozy double brimmed one for extra warmth.

The pattern is both written and charted.
