A hat inspired by Brutalist architecture, which gives emphasis on raw materials, angular geometry, and rough surfaces.
The design features geometric shapes formed by cables, with garter stitch sections in between, reflecting the architectural style’s angular and structured forms.
The pattern is suited for advanced beginners ready to explore cable knitting and includes both written and charted instructions.
