Basic watch cap with cabled cuff. Top section is worked in moss stitch so that it will be reversible - the inside of the top section will become the outside of the hat. This allows the cables to show when cuffed. Hat can be made in different sizes or with different weight yarn by using any multiple of 6 for the cast on.

Just a note: Free patterns in Ravelry do not have automatic updates so you will need to check here to see if there are corrections. This pattern has not been test knit or proofed. You are welcome to contact me with any questions you might have.

14 Jan 2022 - posted version 2. There are various minor changes, the biggest was to clarify the directions for working the cable as follows:
MOVE 2 STS TO CABLE NEEDLE AND HOLD IN FRONT OF WORK; KNIT ST ON LEFT NEEDLE THROUGH BACK LOOP; MOVE 1ST ST ON CABLE NEEDLE TO LEFT NEEDLE AND PURL IT, MOVE SECOND ST ON CABLE NEEDLE TO LEFT NEEDLE AND KNIT IT THROUGH BACK LOOP

17 Jan 2022 - posted version 3. Biggest change was to add references for the 3 stitch cable. Nothing is truly original; we all learn from one another.

17 Jan 2022 - posted version 4. Clarification on length prior to decreases.
