Sets of riverine cables flanked by alternating slips of reverse stockinette wend up to the crown of this pert cap. Knit from a single skein of Loft, Sawmill River is an accessory for those who appreciate clean, geometric style. It works up quickly and intuitively enough to make ideal gift knitting, too. Directions are given in chart form for a classic beanie fit and for a taller version with an artful slouch. Both hats begin with a brim of garter stitch and finish with a loop of i-cord, perfect for hanging them to dry after a walk in the autumn mizzle. Choose a favorite bright hue or go understated with a soothing neutral that will show off the quiet textural shifts of the stitch motifs.
