The Harrow hat, by cofounder Meghan Babin, is a unisex, modern, and straightforward cabled beanie ideal for a first cable project or a simple and quick hat for the more seasoned cabler. Either way, it’s the perfect fall/winter hat for everyone and makes a great holiday gift or an addition to the winter accessory wardrobe. Its symmetrical lines and easy-to-memorize chart lend themselves to commutes and vacation knitting, as well as a good movie knit. This hat is worked from the bottom up in the round from an optional tubular cast on.
