25% New release special, no code required until 27th September 2026

A relaxed, slouchy hat that brings together classic cables and textured Farrow ribbing. Bold cable panels run up the body of the hat, framed by deep ribs that give it great stretch and definition.

The crown shaping is worked right into the stitch rhythm, so the pattern flows naturally all the way to the top. Whether you knit it up in a bright pop of colour or a classic neutral, it’s a fun, engaging project that’s just as satisfying to make as it is to wear.
