Arboraceous Hat Free Knitting Pattern

The Arboraceous Hat was named because of my love of forests! The definition is as follows: 1. arboraceous - abounding in trees; “an arboreous landscape”; “violets in woodsy shady spots”; “a woody area near the highway” arboreous, woodsy, woody. wooded - covered with growing trees and bushes etc; “wooded land”; “a heavily wooded tract.”

This free hat pattern with delightful little criss-cross cables was written up with the option of knitting a regular hat or a slouchy style. The size is determined by the weight of yarn you use.
