The textures of this hat draw inspiration from the waters of a local creek. The cable motifs form the rounded shapes of river stones, while the garter stitch ripples remind of the gentle flow of water around them. Knit from brim to crown in the round, Laurel Creek Hat is a fast and enjoyable project. Cable pattern quickly becomes intuitive and wide fold-over ribbing adds a perfect amount of warmth.
