Available in an eBook with matching Mitts
This hat -- which matches the Richmond Mitts -- uses an unusual zigzag rib combined with a cable on a stockinette stitch background.

It uses less than 50 gms, so grab that luxury yarn you’ve been saving. You may use either fingering or sport weight.

Here’s a quote from one of the test-knitters of the mitts: “… I love the new stitch I learned, the zig-zag ribbing. Haven’t had as much fun doing a process for years! It is downright FUN! Not to mention amazing - in looks AND in stretchiness.”
