Find inspiration in neat stripes and twisting cables. Worked in rich jewel tones and vibrant neutrals, Cleopatra will make you feel like a queen. This hat will push your knitting to a whole new level by working a two-color cable without a cable needle. Because there’s only one cable, it’s easier than ever to learn a new technique and try out unique increases and decreases without stress. Most people will be happy with the relaxed fit of the Cleopatra’s Slight Slouch. But if you’re like me and like to tuck big hair into your hat the generous Super Slouch is the hat for you!

Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think. Most of the hat is worked by alternating 1 round of each color- purling the body stitches, knitting the cable section stitches and slipping the opposite color stitches. Step by step instructions for the cable twist, increases and decreases are provided.

Includes full photo tutorial for needle-less cabling and unique increases and decreases
