This cable hat pattern is a little different from the usual ones. The cables are relaxed, making the hat a little lighter and airier, while still being warm, soft and squishy.
The cables are also a little easier to work, as they are relaxed.No purl stitches are used.

The hat features a tubular cast on, which gives a beautiful rounded edge. A standard cast on can be used, if desired.
