Frosted Peaks Hat

The Frosted Peaks Hat is a warm, soft, and cozy hat featuring richly textured cables. Worked from the bottom up, it begins with a classic 1x1 ribbed brim. Textured braids are incorporated and repeated throughout the piece. It is recommended to knit a swatch first to check your gauge and ensure the best results, as well as to get familiar with the textured cable pattern.
