Inspired by the Rod of Asclepius, a symbol of healing, the entwined cables create a beautiful texture for this warm beanie. A perfect gift for the healer in your life.

Hat is designed with 2”(5cm) of negative ease to fit snuggly to the head.

Hat circumference for each size:

  • 16 (18, 20) (22, 24)“
  • 41 (46, 51) (56, 61)cm

The ribbing is where most people struggle to match gauge, so you may have to drop significantly on hook size or reduce the number of stitches to match the measurements in the schematic.

The cable section should always be 8 stitches, even after crossing. I have a tutorial video that walks through each step of the cable if you have any trouble with it.
