This hat features a twisted cable pattern at the brim plus lush texture easily achieved by knitting into the back of each knit stitch throughout. The sharp decreases at the crown create a peaked, sporty look. I’ve been running in mine and taking it out to dinner. It suits both occasions. To date, I’ve knitted three! The stitch pattern is easy and addictive.
