There is undeniable drama in this hat, isn’t there…
From the colors to the textures in the yarn and the cables done without a cable needle, this is a fabulous hat to knit and to wear. The faux fur pom pom adds fun and a bit of a whimsy with a wow factor and it is movable! Got o love it!

The written and charted pattern gives you two size options (S/M - 20/21”) and (L/XL - 22/23”) and since the cable inspired pattern expands when wearing, we get away with it. Some testers made the S/M version for their little kids~
