Skill level - Advanced beginner (cables, grafting, knitting in the round).

I am in love with this hat! In a lightweight, single-ply wool, the drape is fabulous, and it can be worn winter, spring, fall, or even on summer nights. Experiment with contrasting, variegated colorways to make your stripes blend or pop. First time knitting cables? This is the perfect project to practice cabling without getting in over your head (eek, what a pun!).
