The sinuous hat is full of two color cables twisting up from the brim until they meet in a unique crown. The pattern looks complex, but uses only one color on each round, making it relatively easy.

The hat would look great in two solid contrasting colors or a gradient with a solid contrast color.

The pattern has been test knit and tech edited.

Sinuous also comes in a matching cowl: Sinuous Cowl. You can get both patterns for $9.00.
