The name also describes the cords on this hat, which fan downward in groups of three and end in faux tassels. I was thinking of a young man’s preferences when making this hat, but it would make a nice woman’s hat too. The color pattern is called “Two Color Twisted Ladder” in Barbara G. Walker’s “Treasury of Knitting Patterns” (first volume). It uses the two-color technique that she calls Mosaic knitting, adding a nifty twist to the slipped stitches to simulate a cable.
