This wonderfully soft and squishy yarn just begs to be knit into cozy accessories. The cable and lace pattern that I incorporated into this hat remind me of the tracks that snowshoes leave on a winter’s walk. I have written this pattern in 2 sizes, the child’s size fits a smaller head, while the adult size will comfortably stretch to fit a rather large melon. And don’t forget to toss a pompom on top!
