Taking inspiration from the mission and guidelines of Wool-Aid, Wintery Cable Hat is designed to create a hat for a child who lives in the coldest climate and has the least access to resources. The hat can be knit in a weekend, or two, making it a perfect gift, accessory or for charity. This may be considered an advanced beginner level pattern because knowledge of stitch construction is helpful.
