Classy Cable Hat

This smartly but simply cabled hat was the result of a commission for a simple ribbed hat with sophistication. The recipient was thrilled and said it felt “classy”! 2x2 rib crisply sets off the simple cables that travel to the top. Instructions are written for 2 lengths - long watch cap length to roll up double thickness for extra warmth, or short beanie length to show off the cables.
