My design of this hat was inspired by ancient Grecian hairstyles. A wide brim of crossed 1x1 ribbing gives a textured appearance and evokes the look of swept back hair. This then transitions into a braided cable stitch for a nice full cap, also mimicking the elaborate plaited hairstyles of the time. Finishing the piece are coordinating lighter-colored I-cords that wrap around the forehead and are secured through yarn overs in the hat on the bottom sides.

Includes chart for cables.

*ERRATA* - The first “Next Round” listed in the beginning of the pattern should read:
Next round: K1, p1 5 times, k1, yo, k2tog twice, p1, k1, p1 26 times, k1, yo, k2tog twice, p1, k1, p1 5 times.

The chart is incorrect. It has the first cable (3/3 RC) in the wrong place, it should be directly after the first YO. The written directions are correct.
