This cabled hat is pure fun to knit and makes suitable
accessory for every coat, every sweater and every head. The hat feature
a falling cabling filleed with basket-braided simple cables.
A tubular cast-on produces a beautiful, durable, and elastic hem, and the pattern is stretchy enough to accommodate most adult heads, however two sizing options are given. The cable motifs are worked entirely from charted instructions.

Please note that matching Maude Cowl is also available as a single pattern and with Maude Hat as an ebook in discounted price.
