Purple Haze Knit Hat

Whether youre just learning how to cable or have been cabling since before you can remember, the Purple Haze Knit Hat is a nice, easy cabled hat pattern that will suit any person, man or woman, in the impending frost. The gorgeous Malabrigo Merino Worsted Yarns tonal colorway is matched only by its softness. The cables in this easy knit hat pattern make it run a bit tight for a snug, ear-warming fit, but the knit beanie pattern can be knit with an extra cable repeat for a larger size or looser fit. These hats also make great, fast Christmas gifts for your loved ones.
