This hat features a unique cable that asymmetrically intertwines with the brim, evoking a mountainous horizon, maybe even a river or lake.
Make this hat by starting with a provisional cast on, working flat, side to side with short row shaping for the crown and Kitchener stitching the ends closed. Easily adjust the hat depth with the number of cast on sts and the circumference by the number of pattern repeats (rows.)
