The Jonah hat is a cosy cabled hat named after my beautiful Labrador Jonah. We love to explore the countryside on our winter walks, and this hat is perfect for keeping me warm and cosy whilst we adventure! The design is deceptively simple and would make a great knit for an adventurous beginner.

Charts are included for the main body of the hat in addition to written line by line instructions.
