Original Pattern: Botanical Yoke Pullover

Knitter Extraordinaire: Sandra (Ravelry ID)

Mods: Using the ribbed cable yoke from the pullover as a guide, Sandra created this gorgeous hat with the same yoke chart. Great details can be found on her project page, here.

What Makes This Awesome: You what is wonderfully forgiving for sizing when knitting a hat? Ribbing. And when the hat is basically all ribbing with some cables thrown in you’ve got a really stretchy hat that is going to work for a whole variety of head sizes. Sandra’s idea to take the ribbed cable yoke from the pullover (which she has knitted before) and turn it into a hat is SUCH a great idea! If you have a copy of the pattern, her project page is full of great details on how to make this hat if you would like to follow.

Plus, what a great idea to try something different with  a pattern you have already purchased and enjoyed! Now I feel like ribbed cables must be super fun to knit, right?
