Embossed Hat

Daydreaming about textural contrasts is the inspiration for this gorgeous hat.

Knit in the round from the brim up, the embossed appearance is created by outlined cables that smoothly merge into the ribbed texture, while the crown decreases continue the look by being hidden within the stitch pattern.

​The hat is designed using the same stitch pattern as:
