“GEDULDIG” is the German word for patiently.

GEDULDIG is a female hat pattern combining cable with lace stitches. What do I really love about knitting hats? You can easily get started, because you will always find enough wool in your stash. A small hat projects can be carried around (so I can grab it while waiting or traveling). Finally a hat is a perfect knitted gift for the ones you love.

The GEDULDIG pattern is a fast and fun knit, perfect for a last minute gift, if you have a skein of DK weight yarn and a matching skein of Mohair Silk in your stash. There is a seamless transition from ribbed brim to cable pattern and the crown decreases are part of the pattern too. The hat is worked up quickly and the pattern is easy to memorize. Cabling is described using cable needles, I am used to knit (almost all) cables without a cable needle, you can easily find various instructions and tutorials.

The pattern can be used for a beanie in adult size S, M or L.
Use neutral colors, tonal or solid. The pattern is so addictive, I could not resist to knit three hats in one go! Directions are given for three sizes and written in parentheses as follows: Adult S (Adult M, Adult L).
