An unusual construction, with it’s sideways knit cables and raised panel seams, this Hat is both interesting and enjoyable to knit.

A photographic tutorial demonstrating the 3 needle bind-off specifically for this pattern is available as a PDF from the tutorial section of my website.

Errata:
10/9/10:
The finishing section of the pattern should read as follows:

“Hold the two needles parallel in the left hand, with WRONG sides of the two panels together. Use the three-needle bind-off…” Pattern currently says right sides together, which would remove the distinctive ridges.

1/3/11:
The chart is 8 sts short on all sizes, as 2 repeats of the 4 st pattern have been omitted. The written instructions for this aspect are correct.

Also, all WS (wrong side) rows end with a knit stitch, to help neaten and strengthen the brim edge, not a purl stitch as shown on the chart. The written instructions for this aspect are correct.
