Aspen Hat Knit Pattern

This hat was inspired by photographs of ski tracks in
fresh snow. It is a bottom up hat, knit in the round. It
has twisted rib and a simple left cable. Both the cable
and rib patterns continue on the brim when it is folded
up. This hat is designed as a beanie, but I have included
an adjustment if you prefer more of a slouchy hat. The
pattern contains approximately 2” of negative ease.
Please take fit into consideration when deciding which
size hat to knit.
