This adult sized winter hat is a super cozy accessory for the cold weather. The cabled brim and the 1x1 ribbing make the hat slightly thicker than a standard knit hat and will also fit more snugly. The hat is knit from the brim up and is knit inside out. When the hat is completed, just flip it inside out and fold the brim up, that way the cables will be on the outside. I included both a chart and written instructions for the cabled brim portion and a description of the cable stitches are listed in the abbreviations.

One helpful hint: The cables on the brim are small enough to be knit without a cable needle. If you are familiar with the technique, I highly recommend it; it will make the knitting go a little faster.
