den Arend is a spiral hat pattern knit from the top down, with a cable section that grows gradually to the very end. Make it as short and sweet, or long and slouchy, as you want.

The hat is named for Lucien den Arend, creator of Europa (1986), a 15-meter stainless steel sculpture snaking along Europaweg in Haarlem, the Netherlands. The series was inspired by "land" or "earthworks" artists who used the spiral form in their work.

den Arend is also on Ravelry.
