Ginger Hat

Workflow

You first work the double folded brim in double twisted rib stitch. Then, you work the rest of the hat in cable pattern, where you decrease stitches gradually to the top. The double folded brim is made by folding the bottom part in double twisted rib up twice. 

The Ginger Hat is part of the Ginger ‘Collection’. Each passing year witnesses the addition of new designs, every one of them incorporating the same elegant cable pattern. The collection already includes the following patterns:

• Ginger Sweater (women)
• Ginger Sweater (junior)
• Ginger Hat
• Ginger Headband
• Ginger Mittens
• Ginger Neck
• Ginger Shawl
• Ginger Scarf

>>> Check my YouTube Channel for knitting tutorials.

The pattern is a PDF file & will be sent by email. Refunds are not possible.
