Product description

The architectural pillbox style is equally at home in the country or the city, and the dense, nautical cables and folded brim of the Hickory Cap provide exceptional warmth and style. The cabled band is worked sideways and grafted closed; stitches are picked up along the edge to work circular stockinette and a jaunty nubbin of I-cord anchors the crown. The twisted-rib brim is worked from the lower edge of the cabled band. Knit this hat in a quiet, woodsy neutral to wear with everything; choose a jewel tone to enliven your winter wardrobe.
