A very straight forward and simple knit.

Knit bottom up and seamed.

One easy mock cable rib pattern throughout. It makes a firm, snug yet smart little hat.

Instructions included for knitted flower trim (which is optional).

If substituting the yarn, go for a softer aran.

For those of you who knit for profit, particularly those of you who knit tirelessly for good causes, please feel free to display/upload/pin/post/sell for profit, any of your knits from this pattern with my blessings.
