Awe your friends, shock your families by gifting them with this complex-looking (but simple-to-knit) winged-cable hat.
You can make any or all of the five sizes I’ve included (infant up to XXL) for those you love.

My detailed instructions are written with the beginning knitter in mind, and include a separate pattern for using just one yarn.
Variation ideas also given in this five-page PDF with many photos.

Thank you to Rav member Absinthia, who has discovered a fun use of this pattern. If you use 4 mm needles, dk yarn and the infant sizing instructions, the pattern fits an American Girl (or another 18 inch doll) perfectly!!
