Iola Hat

This hat features a fun, easily memorized cable pattern worked in twisted stitches, strong vertical lines, and a striking crown. Knit the matching mitts too for an eye-catching set!

Cable patterns are both written out in full and charted, and pattern includes a link to video tutorials for unusual stitches.
