Who says cables have to be vertical? Who says they have to be made of knit stitches?

Introducing an entirely new twist on knitted cables. Purl welts stands out from the stockinette background, and contrasting colors twist around each other. It takes time and patience, but the result is stunning.

Skills necessary include knitting and purling, working in the round and a willingness to try new things. The 11 page pattern includes over 25 color photographs showing every step in the construction of this gorgeous hat. Once you have completed the hat you will be able to use the purled cable in other projects and new ways.
