The Bow River Hat sports a faux cable. The pattern is achieved by use of a fairly simple rib and knits up quick in a lovely superwash bulky yarn.

What other people have to say about knitting the Bow River Hat:

“Such a different pattern - surprising, unique, greatly satisfying, a totally fresh design on the border and architectural. And with my yarn - what a double bonus. A sincere thanks all around.”
--Hasmi, owner and lead dyer of Rocky Mountain Dyeworks

“From the pictures, I had assumed this was some sort of new to me cable stitch pattern. Boy was I surprised to see what is really going on! I just love it!”
--Lynn, expert knitter and test knitter
