Carr

This pattern is available to purchase on Ravelry.

by Sarah Solomon – Into the Wool

Carr features a simple but effective cable pattern, easy to memorize but full of impact in the finished piece. The hat is worked from hem to crown in the round and can be made as either a fitted beanie with a short brim or a watch-cap with a deep rolled brim. Instructions are both written and charted making this pattern ideal for knitters who are new to working cables.
