Traversa - PDF knitting pattern

This beret uses simple twists and cables with a combination of decrease techniques to create the stunning design, that appears like lightening travelling towards the centre of the Hat.

With its garter stitch brim, this beret is both modern and comfortable, ideal for those wishing to try cables for the first time or for anyone who desires a Hat a little bit different from the normal.

Available as a single pattern or as part of the Hatopia collection.
