A terrific beginner cable pattern!
You will need:
-16" circ. size 10 1/2 needle
-approx. 80 yds chunky weight yarn
-cable hook
-jumbo tapestry needle
The Hat
Cast on 66 sts.
Join in the round and knit as follows:
(K4, P2, K3, P2)* repeat this for 4 rounds.
Round 5: (C4F, P2, K3, P2) until end of round.
Repeat these 5 Rounds until piece measures 5.5 inches from cast on.
Decreases (remember to C4F on the K4 every 5 rows)
Round 1: (K4 [or C4F], P2tog, K3, P2)* repeat for rest of round.
Round 2: (K4 [or C4F], P1, K3, P2tog)* repeat for rest of round.
Round 3: (K4 [or C4f], P1, K2tog, K1, P1)* repeat for rest of round.
Round 4: (K4 [or C4F], P1, K2tog, P1)* repeat for rest of round.
Round 5: (K2tog, K2, P1, K1, P1)* repeat for entire round. If this decrease
occurs where a cable should be, C4F, BUT, knit the two first stitches of
the cable together, then knit the two stitches off the cable hook separately.
Round 6 (if your stitches aren’t too tight on your circ. needles): (K2tog,
K1, P1, K1, P1)* repeat for rest of round.
Round 7: (K2tog, P1, K1, P1)* repeat for rest of round.
Finishing
Before casting off, cut your yarn from your ball, leaving about ten inches
hanging off the top of your hat. Thread your yarn through your jumbo tapestry
needle. Stitch by stitch, slip your stitches of your left hand needle onto
the tapestry needle, until all you stitches are on your remaining length
of yarn. Pull tight like a drawstring, and tie your yarn off on the inside
of the hat securely. Weave in your ends.
