INFO
An instant classic, ‘Wavy Stream’ is a unisex cabled hat that stretches to fit any head and is shown here in a soft, chained yarn by Woolfolk.

A honeycomb pattern lends lively interest and texture to the fabric, and options abound for customization: single brim or double brim, furry or yarn pompom, or no pompom.

An ideal project for holiday gift knitting--and it’s easy to make more than one!
