This snug cable hat comes in two sizes, designed to fit normal heads and really big noggins (like my husband pictured) alike. Malabrigo never disappoints and it cables like a dream.

The pattern is written out and charted, and although the cables look complex, they are surprisingly easy to work. The cables run all the way to the top of hat and are incorporated into the decreases. A cable needle is listed, but this a really good hat to practice cabling without a cable needle.

This hat is worked up in a skein of natural yarn that I hand dyed for the man. But these cables look great in all sorts of colors!
