Notes

This hat is a cute, quick knit with simple but attractive cables. The pattern is clear and easy to follow. I made some slight modifications to the decrease section for a less pointy top.

Yarn held double throughout.

The cable pattern makes a rather stiff fabric, so next time I’d probably switch to a larger needle size after the ribbing to avoid the conehead effect. It does soften with blocking, but this is a hat that holds its shape!

I eliminated Rows 5, 9, and 12 of the decrease chart to soften the pointy silhouette. I like a fairly flat, or at least rounded, crown.
