Traditional intertwining cables wrap the hem of this winter hat. The construction is deceptively simple: knit the cable hem and join the two ends, then pick up stitches for the crown. Fresta cowl and fingerless mitts are also available.

Needles: 16” circular needle and set of 5 double-pointed needles or your preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round; size 5 US (3.75 mm) or size to obtain gauge
