Cabled Hat
February 12th, 2007 by Heather
I am so excited about this, I just had to post about it right away! This is a hat that I finished on the weekend, I needed a warm hat for when I go walking in the cold, and I love the look of cables. I’ve always been scared of cables though, they look so intricate and hard, and I’ve never tried them. I decided this weekend to give them a go, and I was surprised at how easy they are!
I found a free pattern online, and I followed it as written, except that I made it bigger (I have a big head 
) and I did an additional row of SSK at the end of the pattern, to make the hole at the top of the hat minimal. I should have made it a touch longer, as it only covers the very top of my ears, but it does keep my head warm and that was the goal.
There are a few mistakes that I can see, but all in all I’m really happy with how it turned out. And now I’m not scared of cables.

I love it! Perfect- I think I might make one in red for me-self! (with what time I don’t know, but I’ll buy the yarn anyway!)

I am trying to download the pattern for the “utopia” hat without success. Can you advise me on how to get to the patterns on your webpage?
