Tamara Moot’s Aurora Hat uses simple knit, purl, and basic cables to evoke the lovely glimmers and twists of dawn’s first light in the dark. The three sizes use the same number of cast-on stitches and follow the same directions—the only difference is the gauge of the yarn used and the number of beginning ribbing rows completed! The cable pattern is charted and written out.
