When I sat down to think about designing this hat, I knew I wanted an easy rhythmic rib of long flowing sections joined with a series of spiraling cables. I am very pleased with the resulting sophisticated nature of such a simplistic idea. When worn, the rib sections ‘open up’ to reveal an almost column-like quality. It’s a classic design that will look amazing in a wide-variety of fibers and colors. It works up quickly in a mesmerizing flow of mind-soothing stitches.
