December 5, 2019: Four page PDF includes the patterns for the hat and the matching mitts.

Structure is text, cables are chart only.

The pattern was originally published under the name Walnut Square, in the printed Haverhill Collection leaflet. It now appears in the book MODERN COUNTRY KNITS as the Hopewell Hat.

A single cable travelling up the slightly slouchy hat and fingerless mitts make this set a stylish pair and a fun knit.
