This cable hat uses small cables to create intricate overlapping patterns that flow out of the cable ribbing. The hat is stretchy enough to fit a range of sizes, with the ribbing length being adjusted to make a cosy fit.

The hat is named after the area of Bristol I love taking walks in, as seen in the photos!
