Cabled Hat Pattern

My silly sense of humor is showing in this hat. I had the idea and just couldn’t resist it.

The hat is available in one size, 22”, but it can be made smaller with smaller needles.

The design is charted, with hat construction provided in written form.

Supplies:

Size US 1.5/2.5mm and size US 2/2.75mm needles, or sizes needed to obtain gauge, in double pointed needles or circulars, depending on hat knitting preference.
