My mind was blown away when I spotted a ready-to-wear pullover by Alexander McQueen that had an intricately cabled skull nestled in the heart of a classic Aran cable sweater. I channeled this “cables as architecture” technique to make the skull motif in this stretchy hat, highlighted by a reverse stockinette stitch backdrop.
