This hat is worked from the bottom up with a simple faux cable needle that I learned from a Japanese pattern book. It’s so much fun to knit that it’s become one of my favorite stitches and I often use it instead of plain ribbing to add an extra bit of flair to an otherwise simple pattern.

Beatrix Potter’s England
The young lady who drew and wrote stories of Peter Rabbit and his farmyard friends later married and became an activist for preserving the farmland of the Lake District of England. She bought up thousands of acres of land and raised Hardwick sheep on her working farms. After her death, her properties became part of the UK’s National Trust and the land today looks much as it does in Potter’s day.
