PRINTED PATTERN Brave the cold with a timeless cable hat. Features a wavy cable pattern with thoughtful shaping at the crown and a relax fit. Wear it with the brim folded or unfolded, depending on the slouch you want. Knit with 8 ply / DK weight yarn and comes in three size options. To see a little video of the hat being worn, check out my YouTube short from the pattern release. Designed to be worn with up to 5 cm / 2" of negative ease, this relaxed-fit beanie is slightly slouchy, with a length 2.5 cm / 1" longer than your natural head height. However, you can easily adjust the length by knitting more or less ribbing for a different fit. This is your hat, after all.
