PATTERN NOTES
This hat is knit in the round from the bottom up. It features a contrast color brim in K1, P1 Rib. The body is worked in the MC and features cables with decreases incorporated into the stitch pattern.
This pattern uses the 1x1 long-tail tubular cast-on method for a neat edge. There are many tutorials available online for this technique. If in doubt, use another stretchy cast-on method.
