This fresh take on an allover cabled beanie is knit from brim to crown and contains twisted ribbing throughout. The brim length is fully adjustable, and after the brim is worked, the cabled twisted ribbing begins. The crown is finished with neat SSK decreases which give a clean, structured look without being abruptly square.
