Mock Cable Columns Hat
When asparagus shows up at the farmers market, you can also count on a morning chill that gives way to warm afternoons that then eases into crisp evenings. Unpredictable spring weather calls for our dependable Mock Cable Columns Hat… Not too thick, not too thin, and just warm enough!
This pretty little hat includes columns of mock cables, spaced between a simple 2 x 2 rib, that spring from a mock cable rib cuff. And the cool thing is that the twisted stitches show up on both sides of the cuff, so, you can wear your hat unfolded and slouchy or cuffed and tailored.
How does this Mock Cable Columns Hat so cunningly pull off the suggestion of cables? It has everything to do with twisting the stitches rather than putting them on a cable stitch holder. It’s an easy technique, and one that you will pick up instantly once you watch our new video tutorial!
Knit up in our Linen Quill, the ideal yarn for a springtime piece, you have 31 gorgeous colors to choose from. Here, we opted for the soothing shade of Wheat Flour and the promise of azure skies in True Turquoise. With just a single skein, chase the chill away!
