The Arboraceous Hat is a textured, cable-knit design inspired by the quiet structure of tree branches. It feels organic, balanced, and deeply satisfying to knit.

Worked in the round from the bottom up, this hat features a flowing criss-cross cable pattern that creates movement without complexity. The fabric is created by holding a DK wool together with a laceweight mohair/silk, resulting in a soft, warm knit with a subtle halo and beautiful stitch definition.

Two styles are included: a classic fitted beanie and a relaxed slouchy version.
