Whimsical and Beautiful. Cabled sections separated by reverse stocking stitch ridges. The baby and toddler hats stand up for a fun Christmas Tree look while the kids and adult versions drape into a wonderfully long and slouchy stocking hat. You can also knit up as a two colour striped hat or use multiple colours (great for stash busting!). Finish it off however you like. Add a pompom or tassel, decorate it with buttons or bead.

Difficulty level is intermediate. Requires knowledge of cabling, increasing, decreasing, and knitting in the round.
