There were those that doubted that such a legendary hat could exist, one that could encapsulate all of the beauty and mystique of the legendary Loch Ness Monster. They said that cables outlining the totally real shape of Nessie would be too difficult, nay, monstrously fiendishly impossible.

They were wrong. Nessie lives in cables with accent rope and waves to contain the awesomeness.

Any DK weight yarn should serve ye well to tackle the beast though it be shown in Madelinetosh LEDK in Tannenbaum.

Sizes: 17, 19, 20 inch brim circumference.
Needle: #6 (body) #5 (suggested for ribbed brim)
Skill: Skilled Intermediate to Expert. The pattern is completely charted and experience with cables is recommended. Nessie is not for the faint-hearted.
