If you want an extra warm winter hat that knits up quickly, this is the hat for you. The cable design and bulky yarn makes this a very squishy, thick hat that is perfect for the cold weather. It can be worn as a long slouchy hat or as a beanie with a brim. The optional border stitch is made with a crochet hook and creates a nice tension that pulls the edge slightly away from the face creating a soft feminine look.
