Interlocking Cables Hat, PDF pattern

About the Design

Since designing the Interlocking Cable Socks, years ago, I’ve been wanting to use the cable pattern in other designs. It suits a hat perfectly. Two sizes are workable, through a change in needle size.

The hats were sampled in Kraemer Yarns Naturally Nazareth, a 100% soft domestic wool yarn. Both sizes use less than one skein each.
