With its satisfyingly intricate geometric cable pattern, the Parterre Hat evokes the puzzle-like arrangement of flower beds in formal gardens. The pattern includes three sizes, each requiring a single skein of DK weight yarn. Pair it with the coordinating Parterre Scarf for a classic gender neutral set.
