An elegant three-tiered appearance is what gives the Wedding Cake Hat its name. Created with layers of tasteful cables, this fancy and fun-to-knit hat begins with a cabled band for a decorative foundation. Stitches are picked up around one side of the band, and the tiered sides of the hat are built up from there. Optional sparkly beads finish the cake with an elegant touch!
