Amaretto is a cabled hat that features bold, elegant lines worked in a cabled, textured motif. It’s fun and so satisfying to work, and it lent itself beautifully to this hat design.

Both brim and crown transition into the lines of the cable easily, and when worked in gorgeous wool, the detail just pops!

I decided to play with the design just a little and worked the hat with two different silhouettes. A little longer brim gives it a bit of slouch - and a folded brim, worn just a little lower on the head, makes for a perfect fitted cap. Versatile and unisex.

Instructions for both brims are included in the pattern, and the hat will easily lend itself to a number of beautiful solid, heathered, tweed, or semi solid skeins you might have laying around! Or try either of the yarns I used - I love both and they come in some gorgeous colors.
