Hat Like a Wheel from Lyrical
Knits is a knitting pattern for a
classic cabled hat worked in the round from the bottom-up. The ribbing flows
into the cables for the body of the hat and is decreased in pattern to the
crown. The design includes two sizes, both of which can be worked with either a
short or folded brim, and with or without the slouch. Make it as a beanie or a
slouchy hat with an optional pompom. The cable pattern is charted and
written out.
