\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This hat has an interesting texture with a little cabling that can be done without a cable needle. Directions are given for several sizes.<\/p>\n

Go here<\/a> for a straight needle version.<\/p>\n

Sizes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

[grid width=”600″ cols=”100,*,100,*,*”] Size|Circumference (Inches)|Height (Inches)|Ounces of yarn|Yards of yarn~ Toddler|15|5.5|1.14|57.09~ Child|16.75|6|1.41|70.49~ Small Adult|18.25|6.75|1.71|85.29~ Medium Adult|20|7.25|2.03|101.5~ Large Adult|21.75|7.75|2.38|119.12~ Extra-Large Adult|23.25|8.5|2.76|138.15~[\/grid]<\/p>\n

Gauge:<\/strong>\u00a017 stitches and 23 rows = 4 inches in stockinette<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/strong>
\nworsted weight yarn (see chart above for amount)
\nSize 8 (5 mm) 47\u2033 circular needle (for\u00a0magic loop<\/a>)\u00a0or<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0set of size 8 (5 mm) double pointed needles
\nYarn needle<\/p>\n

Abbreviations:<\/strong>
\nk = knit
\np = purl
\nc2f = cable 2 front \u2013 Slip the next stitch onto cable needle and hold in front of work. Knit the next stitch from left-hand needle, knit the stitch from the cable needle.
\nc2b = cable 2 back \u2013 Slip the next stitch onto cable needle and hold in back of work. Knit the next stitch from left-hand needle, knit the stitch from the cable needle.
\nk2tog = knit two together
\nssk = slip one knitwise, slip one knitwise, insert left needle into front of both slipped stitches and knit.<\/p>\n

The c2f and c2b can be made without a cable needle. There are several methods for doing that. I have a video <\/a>of my method.<\/p>\n

Pattern:<\/strong>
\nAmount to cast on for the different sizes:
\nToddler = 72
\nChild = 80
\nSmall Adult = 88
\nMedium Adult = 96
\nLarge Adult = 104
\nExtra-Large Adult = 112<\/p>\n

Join to knit in the round. Divide stitches between double pointed needles or needles for a magic loop. Divide with multiples of 8 on each needle.<\/p>\n

Repeat instructions between * across the round:<\/p>\n

Ribbing: k1, p2, * k2, p2 *, k1
\nMake 8 rounds of ribbing.<\/p>\n

Rnd 1: k
\nRnd 2: k5, * p6, k2 * p3
\nRnd 3: p2, c2b, c2f, * k4, c2b, c2f *, k2
\nRnd 4: k<\/p>\n

Repeat these four rounds until the hat measures the desired height for size (ending with a rnd 4):
\nToddler – 3.5″ high
\nChild – 4″ high
\nSmall Adult – 4.75″ high
\nMedium Adult – 5.25″ high
\nLarge Adult – 5.75″ high
\nExtra-Large Adult – 6.5″ high<\/p>\n

Crown:<\/strong>\u00a0Repeat across the round
\nRnd 1: k2, k2tog, ssk, k2
\nRnd 2: k4, * p4, k2 *, p2
\nRnd 3: p1, c2b, c2f, * k2, c2b, c2f *, k1
\nRnd 4: k
\nRnd 5: k1, k2tog, ssk, k1
\nRnd 6: k3, * p2, k2 *, p1
\nRnd 7: * c2b, c2f *
\nRnd 8: k
\nRnd 9: k2tog, ssk
\nRnd 10: k
\nRnd 11: k2tog<\/p>\n

Cut the yarn with several inches to work with.\u00a0 With a yarn needle, pull the yarn through all the remaining loops, secure and weave in end.<\/p>\n
