ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Ponytail Hot Chocolate Hat combines a simple cable with a mock cable in an all-over repeat and ends in a simple peek-a-boo opening. Although the cables look complicated, the pattern repeat is easy to work. The hat calls for a worsted weight yarn that holds stitch definition well for the cables. Written in 3 sizes. Cables are charted and written.
