Coralillo
Coralillo is a squishy textured hat that’s super satisfying to work and beautifully distinct in this yarn. A combination of simple 1/1 cables and purl stitches creates a lovely allover “woven” pattern on the body of the hat. It’s simple and eye-catching and allows for a delicate brim ribbing and a beautiful crown decrease.
I worked the hat in a single skein of YOTH Father to create a fun, bold accessory, with a pop of color. In a gray or neutral, this would a more subdued classic hat. For how it looks without pom, check project pages on Ravelry - the crown shaping is just lovely when it’s not hidden under a pom.

Yarn: YOTH Yarns Father (100% Rambouillet wool; 220yds/201m per 3.53oz/100g skein). Shown in Wheatgrass.
If substituting yarn, a tweed, a solid, or a subtle heather in a heavy worsted weight wool would work best so that the details of the stitch pattern are visible. I suggest a fiber with a little depth, but not much variegation to show the pattern off beautifully. Choose a round wool fiber with memory and minimal drape for a longer lasting, better fitting hat.
