One ball of yarn + size 13 needles = a cool, cabled, (and unisex!) hat that knits up incredibly fast, and is big on texture and style!

A wide, curvy, braided cable is alternated with a simple cable to give this hat lots of chunky texture. Plus, it's a fun knit for cable lovers!

Knits up quickly and seamlessly in the round from the bottom up AND uses only one ball of yarn. Sweet! Make one for yourself and anyone on your gift list.
