Tillage Hat by Jared Flood

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Designed for our newest ranch-specific yarn, Ranch 02: Forbes, the Tillage Hat showcases the softness and elasticity of American Rambouillet wool. This hat features the same cable motif as our Tillage pullover — bold cable panels and plenty of gansey-inspired texture — but in a thicker, worsted-weight gauge for a fast and fun knit.

Please note: the stitch patterns for this garment are charted only.
