This beautiful hat is perfect for staying cozy and warm on a cold day. The lovely textured pattern is inspired by grass blowing in the wind at the top of a hill.

It is worked in the round from the 1x3 twisted brim up to the crown. The stitch pattern is formed using slipped stitches and cables. On some rounds of the stitch pattern, cables are worked over the beginning of the round at which point the beginning of round marker is removed and replaced as indicated.
