Design
This hat is inspired by the frozen berry bushes that decorate the landscape in the snowy Blue Mountains in Washington and Oregon. Snowberry is a deceptively simple design. Try your hand at the easiest cable there is, with 2-stitch cables that create the winding branches on this beautiful project. Bobbles introduce a fun element to break up any monotony and keep your interest piqued. This pattern is charted and includes written instructions.
CONSTRUCTION
Snowberry is worked in the round from the brim up, with a 1×1 rib that creates a wonderfully stretchy brim that will fit a wide range of head sizes. Cabled branches and bobbles travel along a reverse stockinette background in the body of the hat.
