This hat is one of my favorite patterns to knit! The model is my friend Nate, who wanted something to keep his head warm during the winter.
The braided cables were a new style of cable for me, and fun to knit. I like the different look a braided cable gives a hat. I used Vanna's Choice yarn (I feel like I'm alway using Vanna yarn!) in Dark Grey Heather. The hat took less than a skein of yarn, which could make a pom-pom if you are so inclined.
