This turns out so cute! If you are not familiar with crochet cables, this is NOT the pattern to start with. But if you can “read” post stitches, this hat comes along pretty quickly. Turns out quite dense, so will be super warm. The way the cables decrease are genius! I don’t know that I would use a heathered yarn again, as it is not easy to see the cables.

The pattern is very well-written and clear, with lots of pictures. Really enjoyed this and will likely make an adult size next.
