In Italian, Corda means “rope.” This hat was inspired by the amazing designs of a famous Italian knitwear design house, more commonly known for their chevrons, but they also hold their own with cables. Corda, with its dwindling cables, comes in many sizes to fit newborns to large adults.

This hat is worked from the bottom up in the round. Both written and charted instructions are included.
