The simple cables on this hat resemble leaves, the slipped stitches forming the leaf stem. The cables wind upward toward the crown, ending in gentle decreases and giving a snug, cozy fit. A simple 8-row repeat makes this a versatile knit, easily adjustable to different lengths.

This hat is worked from the bottom up, starting at the brim and working upward toward the crown of the head. The brim is worked in a simple 2x2 ribbing, which flows effortlessly into the charted cables that form the leaves.

I recommend using a non-superwash wool for this hat, it will give a beautifully sturdy fabric with a buttery soft texture.

Here is a link to the project page for the sample.
