Radley Tunisian Hat

"This crochet cabled hat, Radley Tunisian Hat, is a beautiful chunky 2-color Tunisian crochet hat that was inspired by the mystery of winding countryside roads that lead us to unknown treasures of nature. The hat features 2 separate sections: folded ribbing and cabled body with right leaning cables worked over 6 stitches. The folded ribbing and pompom are made in one colour while the cabled section is crocheted in contrasting colour. Although this is an intermediate project, it would make an amazing introduction to Tunisian crochet cables for an adventurous beginner!"
