Notes

This is my fourth hat/July hat for the 12 Hats in 1 Year Challenge.

7.9.13
So far so good. Messed up a bit on the cabling but tinked back that round and now things are going smoothly.

I read that another Ravelry member that made this hat used two sized needles to make cabling easier. I’d never even thought of this before. So clever! It’s so much nicer to do cables without a cable needle now. My left needle remained a size 4 and the right is size 7.

7.19.13
All done knitting. I think I have a good three or four spots where I messed up the cabling but I’m not going to get upset about it or try and fix them---the pattern helps hid any small mistakes. It is small though, overall, more beanie than slouch hat. Wetting blocking it tomorrow.

Final verdict: Overall, I’m happy with it. The only problem I have with it is that it lies awkwardly somewhere between slouchy and beanie, so when just slipped on my head, it can look a bit conical. I wish I had made it longer so it definitely had that slouchy look or else didn’t stretch it so much when blocking it. There are easily four or mistakes I made in the cabling but luckily the pattern hides them well.
