This unisex ski cap uses brightly colored stripes and trios of vertical cables to catch the eye and add interest to the knitting process. Or, knit it with a camouflage colored yarn for an elegant military style look. It’s a fun and fast knit using a bulky weight yarn that will keep your head nice and toasty for a day on the slopes, or anywhere else you choose to wear it.

At the top of the hat, the purl space between the cable sections narrows and eventually the cables meet and begin to criss-cross amongst themselves to form an intricate “knot-like” design.

This is a fun, fast knit that takes only a single skein of yarn. I named it after my beloved eldest (also the model!) who ironically has a rather unisex name!
