In Warsaw, I was really strucked by the austere beauty of the soviet buildings. These geometric forms inspired me this hat.

Made with 100 grams of Aran yarn, this hat is an exploration through cables and a very warm hat for winter.
The pattern is fully charted and written and includes a variation to make a longer brim.
