The bulky cables of this deceptively simple hat bring to mind something grand and majestic like Teewinot, one of the peaks in the Teton Mountain Range in Wyoming. Made with a gorgeous Noro bulky yarn of your choice, this hat is a super quick, luxury knit. The cables are so bulky, you only use your cable needle for 4 rounds! To make this hat even more majestic, add a big, fluffy pompom.
