Michelada
Michelada is a simple beanie, featuring a striking cable pattern that combines traveling ribs with classic twists. I love how this swirls around the head - and how distinct it looks in a gorgeous, subtly heathered wool. The overdyed gray of the Twilight colors has a gorgeous depth that absolutely shines in this pattern.
The cable motif looks complex, but is actually quite simple and easily memorized, and the hat flies off the needles in no time.
