It's made from Lamb's Pride Bulky, and is based on the pattern here. The mods include putting rib between the cables (in the pattern she knits only). I cabled every sixth row, and began decreases when crossing the fifth cable. It looks slightly pointy on this little noggin, but on my head it's nice and flat. I only decreased to 18 stitches (the pattern calls for 8 or 9) and that suited my head (and hopefully my mother's) better. Fast and fun!

Pink Cables
Last year I made several cabled hats as last minute Christmas gifts. My mother asked for one, and I finally made it this week.

Oh thank you for sharing that wonderful hat pattern! My son-in-law loves to wear those hats in the winter, so I'm going to try to tackle this pattern!
Love it. I am going to try this for myself. I need a colorful hat. All of mine are black or navy blue and I definitely need one here.
wow, so glad you liked my pattern! your hat looks better than mine! i think i may have twisted up a cable or two.
happy knitting.
