This almost weightless hat (less than 50g) is a little treat for any cable lover!

It’s deceptive in its appearance, as it’s much simpler to work than it looks. Just a few cable twists here and there and you end up with an intricate looking pattern that draws the eye and makes you want to spend time and explore all the intertwinings.

For those of us who really enjoy the convenience of a pony tail there is also an option to stop after the cable panel is done and finish it as a headband. This would also make a great choice for a super speedy gift knitting!
