Cable knit hearts and Xs and Os trail up this adorable hat. I designed this to celebrate Valentine's Day. Why Valentine's Day you ask? Valentine's Day is special to me because it's also my birthday! I enjoyed creating this unique design in honor of the occasion. Knit it in red to really send those Valentine vibes, or knit it in a neutral for a classic look. Any choice is a winner!
