I shouldn’t have favourites when it comes to my patterns but this one is in regular rotation during the winter months, and is still looking good year after year.

Knit in Eden Cottage Yarns Silverdale with added Stellina, this hat will brighten up the darkest of winter days with it’s added sparkle, bringing a bit of magic with you wherever you go.

This hat is knit in the round from the bottom up and features a very simple cable pattern. The pattern includes both charted and full written instructions.

This pattern uses the Provisional Cast-On to create a double thick brim. You can find a tutorial for this and any other special techniques used in my patterns on my Substack, The Stitch & Bloom Society.
