You have a ball of worsted or Aran weight yarn, cotton or wool, and are looking for a project. Stop here. This versatile, comfortable, fun, unisex hat in an arresting stitch pattern proves that cabling needn't always result in curves. It's like a stock market hat: it goes up and down and sideways. Knit from the brim up to the crown, it's a very roomy beret style. Frankel writes a fine pattern in a very readable 2-column format, and gives detailed instructions for each left- or right-leaning segment, and when to reset your row counter.
