Appledore by Alison Green

Craft: Knitting

Appledore embodies everything we love about fall! Knit in Merino 401, this cozy hat features allover cables and a cleverly crafted crown. Whip one up for yourself as soon as the first crisp morning hits, or make a few to have on hand for thoughtful handmade gifts. 

Appledore is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up with crown shaping integrated into the pattern. Cable patterns are both charted and written out.
