The Lana Hat is Tunisian crochet hat with wide double brim ribbing and relaxed cable stitch pattern with slightly slouchy fit.

A large pompom is a must! This is a great first Tunisian crochet cable project with meditative repeating stitch pattern.

The pattern is worked flat and seamed at the end.
It is recommended to use natural animal fibers allowing for best cable definition results.
