An enjoyable, quick knit in bulky yarn, Taiga Trails is a great opportunity to try out cables for the first time. The cute zig zag cable pattern is simple and repetitive, making it fun and easy for new cable knitters, or a great opportunity for experienced cable knitters to try cabling without a needle. Pick out your favorite skein of bulky yarn and whip up a snuggly, fun hat!
