A silk/merino beret with cables that grow out of the 
brim and into a tangled braid crown. This is a fun and 
challenging knit, with alternating cables that grow and 
change. Three sizes are achieved with the same 
number of stitches by changing yarn and needle sizes. 

I originally made this hat for my friend Nicole with Malabrigo Silky Merino (not pictured) which makes a small. The Green hat pictured is a large, with Malabrigo Worsted in Moss. The Blue is a medium, with The Sanguine Gryphon’s Codex in Spiel im Morgengrauen. The Red is also a medium but unfortunately the yarn, Madelinetosh Eyre, is discontinued. :(

Yarn suggestions: I designed this hat with single ply, especially silk/wool blends in mind, but any worsted weight yarn will work, just make sure you get gauge.
