Having been generously provided with a gorgeous bulky yarn from Nashua, I wanted to create something that was a little unexpected. Knitting lace in a bulky yarn? With cables? Why not? The resulting hat is both uniquely stylish and comfortably warm, and the whole thing knits up in only 34 rounds on large needles.
