Used the Balta Ainava pattern as inspiration, but modified by starting with 6/2 ribbing instead of the pattern’s 2/2. The first set of cables in the original patterns (the big crossovers) made the circumference of the hat too small, so I eliminated those and just put in another round of 3x3 cable.

I also winged it at the top of the hat, decreasing in a way that looked good, but wasn’t according to the pattern. Very happy with the result.
