Double Cabled Hat Pattern

This hat is great, and fits well since it is knit entirely in a cabled stitch. The head circumference is more of a ballpark figure in the sense that this hat will stretch quite a bit. 

Materials:

• Caron Simply Soft (or any yarn with 4.5 stitches per inch)
• Size 6 and 7 16" circular needles
• Size 7 double pointed needles (dpn)
• Stitch markers
• Cable stitch holder
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Pattern:
(intermediate level)
Sizes: 19" (16 1/2", 21 1/2")

• Cast on 96 (84, 108) stitches
• Repeat chart all the way around until piece measures 5 (4, 6) inches from the bottom. (Chart below)
• Begin decreasing on a row which you will NOT be cabling. You will also continue to knit in pattern throughout decreasing.
• 1st decrease row: *Knit 10 in pattern, Knit 2 together, place stitch marker* repeat until end of row.
• 2nd row decrease: knit entire row in pattern.
• Repeat 1 decrease row and 1 row knit in pattern, with each subsequent decrease row like this: *knit in pattern until 2 stitches remain before a stitch marker, knit those 2 stitches together* repeat.
• Repeat until only 8 (7, 9) stitches remain, switching to dpn when comfortable. 
• Cut 8 inch tail and thread tail into needle and through remaining stitches. 
• Weave in ends.
• Enjoy!

Cable 4 Front means you place the first 2 stitches on a stitch holder or cable holder and bring them to the front of your work. You then knit the next 2 stitches, then pick up the stitches on the stitch holder and knit them.
