Baby Cocktails’ Heady Topper is a knitting pattern for a fabulous hat
for him or her. Bold cables and garter stitch create a strong texture. The contrast
between the cable and background stitches made for a striking transition
into crown shaping. It is a quick knit and an easy to memorize motif. The hat
is knit in the round from the brim to the crown. The cable pattern is
charted and written out.
