Rhiannon is the epitome of sophisticated simplicity. Take advantage of that gorgeous skein of indie-dyed yarn in semi-solid or tonal colourways. With a sweet eyelet cable design that continues right into the crown and the slightest bit of slouch, this hat is sure to be a family favourite.

UPDATE
Please check out my YouTube video demonstrating how to work the decreasing cables without a cable needle here
