   Wish you had a picture of that neat hat modeled on a real person. I’d like to see how it looks and fits.

   I see now that it is designed for a man. I suppose it fits like a watch cap.

     Yes. I need to find a styrofoam head form to help with hat photos.

    Love the pattern, but using cable needles is not that hard. How many more stitches are needed to do these in real cables?

      You would probably want to add a couple of stitches of purl on either side of each of the cables, so 12, to compensate for the additional draw of the cables.

    I’m getting ready to knit this pattern but don’t see a guage. Also, I’m sure the 47″ circular needle in the materials list is an error! Again, I’m going to knit this hat and I agree with Kathleen that using cable needles is not that hard. This pattern just looks fantastic.

      I made the samples with Lion Brand Wool-Ease which knits about 19 stitches to 4″ on size 8 (5 mm) needles.

      The 47″ circular needle is for using the magic loop method for knitting in the round. (http://weebleknits.net/mloop.html) You can also use a 16″ or thereabouts circular and just convert to double pointed when you get to the crown.

    Brilliant Pattern – I will use the pattern in a jumper which should look stunning when done together with the hat.

    Thank you for sharing… Can’t wait to start

        No. It’s actually moss stitch which is like seed stitch but with two rows of each instead of alternating each row.

    This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I made an Aran sweater in rose colored yarn from Ireland and was looking to make a matching hat – and voila!!! The sweater has diamond pattern w/moss stitch – JUST PERFECT. Thank you, I was going to create one myself – but this is better.

    Did you put the gauge somewhere and I don’t see it? My knitting is NEVER the needles that patterns ask for and I always have to do a gauge to make sure it comes out the right size. Can you email me the gauge? Thanks!

      18 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette

      I need to add that to all my patterns. Thanks for asking to prompt me to do that.

      If you are using the print icon at the bottom of the pattern, you have to be careful not to click on the text. Any portions you click on will be deleted from printing. It’s designed to let you just print portions you want.

    can you use a circular needle 16″? I never use dpn with out leaving some kind of hole.

      You can definitely use a 16″ circular for the body of the hat. After a couple of the crown reductions you will either have to change to dpns, do a magic loop with a long circular, use two short circulars, or stop knitting in the round and make a seam.

    Thanks for the great looking men’s hats. But, please spell gauge correctly. Thank you.

      Thank you for catching that! I’m a math person and known to be spelling challenged, but even that was bad for me. I had also copied that spelling into every pattern I had when I had decided to add gauge recently. They are all now corrected.

    so this is knit from the bottom up? i am not a fan of circulars so i am using dpns. also, for the large…you split 27 stitches on each not 18 right? 18 x 4 does not equal 108. thanks.

      It is knit from the bottom up.

      You can split 27 stitches on each of 4 dpns. Once you get into the reductions you may have to move some stitches around. I said to split in multiples of 18, so something like 36/18/36/18, but that only gives an advantage once you get to the reductions because it prevents having to move stitches.
