BASED ON ONE OF MY MOST POPULAR SOCK PATTERNS, the Hibernal Hat is a timeless design featuring a beautiful mock cable stitch hugged by stretchy, cozy ribbing.

The pattern includes instructions for two different brims - both folded and single! And no cable needle required! This hat features a sweet mock cable that is easy to knit, and quick to memorize!
