Full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and curves everywhere, Turbulence reflects some of life’s journeys. Right now, everything and everyone seems to be experiencing Turbulence.

This pattern consists of basic cables. The cables are offset with no purl st dividers. This gives the basic cable a pared down clean shape, one that morphs as each cable twist is made. Our cables appear to zig and zag rather than twist over and around. The curves are still there but muted by the angles.

The cables change in size as the pattern moves into the crown, making the texture continue right up until the beanie is cinched closed.

The pattern is sized from child to x-large adult. Sample shown is size medium. The fabric created by the offset cables is very stretchy.
