Notes

I forgot how infernally sticky this yarn is so lost some yarn when I tried to frog the first attempt at a cable beanie. And then realised I’d better go for a super simple pattern to use this up.

Turns out this pattern is more than the simple back loop two-row repeat I expected. Which is a good thing cos the four row repeat will keep me engaged but won’t lend itself to mistakes that will require frogging.

Fsc 63 to get 12 inches for the adult size and I’ll go to 19 inches across before seaming it together for the crown.

Did a full stitch instead of back loop for the first and last stitches on the back loop rows, and marked them on every row in case they disappear. And using standing stitches for the start of each row except for the blsc where I’m chaining 1 and then working into the first stitch.

Ended up with 64 stitches on the final row and then managed to only pick up 60 stitches around for the crown but whatever, close enough for jazz.

Did an extra round of sc2tog to narrow the crown and then wove through to close the hole. No pompom required. Much rather have no pompom than use a Temu pompom.
