Pacific Crest Trail Hat by Kay Hopkins is a cozy and squishy hat with easy cables and a deep fold-over brim with an optional fold line that keeps the brim in place and looking neat and tidy.
This hat is knit in the round from the brim to the crown, beginning with ribbing at the brim that includes an optional fold line. Following the brim, the hat transitions into a cable pattern, which is provided with both written and charted instructions, including the crown. Additionally, a pom pom can be attached at the end if desired.
