Pamukkale Hat
Cables with garter stitch centers climb up the Pamukkale Hat and it can be worn slouchy or with the brim folded up to provide extra warmth. I knit mine one size larger than I usually would for a hat with no negative ease, which provides the perfect fit over glasses! Both charted and written directions are provided. Inspired by my trip to Turkey, Pamukkale is a World Heritage Site with hot springs and terraces made of travertine.
