Pattern Description:

Intwined is a product of my research on various cap constructions, spiced up with cables intwined within each other. Worked from the top down to ensure great fit, the hat gives an impression of cables exploding from the centre out on to the body of the cap. A tightly spun wool blend yarn is recommended to make the cables pop from the reverse stockinette background.
