Hat Description Arcus is a sideways knit ponytail Hat, worked in garter stitch. The brim features a cable that runs horizontally all the way around. The crown shaping is created by an I-cord tie that gently gathers the Hat in, with a space left open for a ponytail. There is a vertical line of buttons that run up the side of the Hat.
