This hat is a great unisex hat that uses shadow knitting to create a spiraled effect. The Cashmere 16 Fine is super soft and feels great against the skin.

This is classified as a DK weight yarn, but I find it knits up closer to a fingering or sport weight yarn. The style is more of a short stocking cap rather than a beanie. Leave the hat as is or add a cute tassel or pom pom for a fun flair.
