    Super cute hat! My favorite Spring knits are either tees made in linen or cotton blends, or shawls made in any non-wool yarns.

    I like to knit shawls in the spring with lightweight yarn. I wonder if this pattern could be transformed into a shawl pattern. Can't wait to try to make this hat!

    I like to knit hats year round, because they are portable, small enough that I don't get bored with a pattern, useful, giftable, and usually only need one skein, unless I am doing colorwork :)

    I love one skein projects - always feel so accomplished so quickly! This is a great hat pattern, thanks!

    Love this hat. I ordered Anchor Bay to make it and the yarn is fabulous. Question - on Row 4 of "start design" - should it be K2Tog, YO, K4 rather than K5?

      I believe there is an error in row four of the written directions. It should read K2tog, YO, K4 not K5

Honeycomb Cable Hat - Greenland

I got the brilliant idea this year to knit a number of people gifts.  I managed to finish 6 projects in the month of December and write out the patterns for most of them.  One of my favorites was this lovely cabled hat knit in Greenland .  Greenland is one of my favorite yarns - it has this amazing springy twists and has fabulous stitch definition.  Sadly, I seem to never get a chance to knit it. The finished hat shown is for an average adult - finished (unstretched) measurement is 7" wide and 8" long from the cast on edge.  I cast on 88 stitches.  It can easily be adapted to be smaller (cast on 80 stitches) or larger (cast on 96 stitches). Materials: (1), 1, (2) ball Greenland (100% Superwash Merino Wool - 137 yds/100 g) - shown in color 3549 US 7 - 16" circular needles US 9 - 16" circular needles Cable needle (or spare DPN) Stitch Marker Abbrevations K - Knit P - Purl cn - cable needle Sl - slip 4-st RC - Sl 2 st...
