Description
An unusual cable is the inspiration for this deeply textured hat in three sizes (S/M/L), with a bold, modern appeal. The easily memorized pattern makes for a quick midwinter treat to knit in worsted weight yarn. Add the optional pom pom for a fresh accent to your outerwear look. Along with the coordinating Cuffed Links mittens and Chain, Chain, Chain cowl, this hat is sure to attract the right attention on slopes or sidewalks.
