Description
This hat knits up quickly with a bulky yarn and is a good opportunity to practice your cables. You won’t believe how easy this aran braid is. The fit is very cozy and will suit a range of head sizes. Make this up as a gift for a gaelic guy or girl.
This hat is knit from the brim to the crown. The aran braid is dense and warm, but the hat is fairly stretchy. This hat has one size.
