The cables in our Cassidy hat run from the brim to the crown. There is a 1 x 1 rib included in the brim to ensure a snug fit. This pattern is suitable for both men and women. The colors that can be seen in his finished hat and the matching Aidan mittens are always close to Daniel, our designer, when he is knitting outdoors by the lake. The shades of greens and blues that can be seen are ever changing but also ever present.
