Liffey Swim features two, parallel plaits (braids) in crochet cabling, raised borders and a snug, ribbed headband.

The weather has turned quite cold the last few days here in Ireland, and this hat has been a constant feature on my head, so I can attest to its wearability.

Clear instructions and informative links to explain the cabled stitches used in this hat are included in the pattern text.
