The Elderflower Hat is designed to showcase the gorgeous stitch defnition and the round, springy quality of Magpie Fiber’s new Quartet Worsted SW yarn.

This hat stretches beautifully when worn fitted, and the lines of the cable pattern are strong and distinct, leading into a really interesting crown pattern. I did not add a pom to this design so you can see the detail.

Cables are both written and charted. Notes are in the pattern for altering depth or adding width of the hat.
