I designed this hat in collaboration with KnitPicks and their new High Desert yarn line. This new yarn is made from 100% Shaniko Wool and shows amazing stitch definition for cable knits. This stretchy beanie is just full of cabled texture in varying directions and spacing. I have added a slim column of slipped stitches in between each cable section for an even more defined look.
Included with this pattern are instructions in both written and chart form, depending on your preference.
