166I started working on the cable rib hat last night and I finished it tonight. I’m proud because I decided to use this project to learn how to do the continental style of knitting and actually use cables for something. On the recommendation of my knitting friend Heidi, I used 2 strands of KP’s Merino Style in Rhubarb and 10.5 needles. Then I added a big pompom and it is now wrapped as a gift for Natalie’s birthday. I used this pattern. Now if I was to make another, and I probably will, I would have the hat be 6-6.5″ before I started my decreases. I have a big head and while it fits it definitely could be a little longer to cover my ears.
