The TOT Tunisian Hat is designed in grey colour to raise awareness to brain cancer in honour of my grandfather. The hat features 2 separate sections: folded ribbing and cabled body with right and left leaning cables worked over 6 stitches. It would make an amazing introduction to Tunisian crochet cables for an adventurous beginner!
