We are suckers for cables. Yes – that’s right – the Yarnistas can’t get enough of the fluffy textured designs that have been on-trend for the past year. And every time we see a new pattern featuring cables, we seem to be instantly infatuated. The new hat pattern, A Twisted Affair by Joji Locatelli, is no exception. It scratches the itch for a delightfully simple yet elegant cabled accessory, and – bonus – it’s free! Featuring a symmetrical repeating cable, this hat is perfect for first cable projects and expert knitters alike. Featuring Woolfolk Luft, the result is a warm, cozy, and delectably luxurious hat that is simple to knit and delightful to wear. Perfect for the chilly winter months. And, while we always seem to say this, this pattern might just become your new favorite hat.
