Jason's Cashmere Hat Yarn Kit
Jason’s Cashmere Hat features a simple cable design for extra warmth, firm ribbing to help keep its shape, and a thick, folded brim that can be adjusted to cover the ears on extra chilly days. I made my version of this great pattern with two skeins of Cowgirlblues Aran Single. This hat is pure luxury and can easily be completed in a weekend. I think the huge Pom Pom is a must too!!!
I am also wearing my DIMENSIONS shawl/scarf/scawl using the same fab Cowgirlblues Aran Single. This design is available also as a yarn kit online.
