This is a romantic, graceful Hat with long drapey earflaps and offset cables. Pattern is worked top down, with two choices of crown included, and the ear-flaps are optional should you wish for a beanie with this stitch pattern. Hat Description Flappy Cabler is a top down earflap Hat. It has a gentle point at the crown and the pattern also includes a fitted beanie version. Stocking stitch is used allover with a wide band of a basketweave cable all around the body and at the end of the earflaps. The earflaps are long and impactful, but the pattern can be worked without them for a cabled beanie.
