The Riva Glade Hat is named after one of our favorite ski runs on Vail mountain, our home mountain. It reminds us of the tracks we make in the snow on a powder day, the best time to ski Riva Glade!

This is a fun knit, with simple cables and seed stitches to keep you engaged. The brim is knit flat with an integral i-cord at its bottom edge. It is provisionally cast on and then joined/seamed at the back with a three-needle bind off, then the crown is picked up and worked in the round.
