And it looks GREAT on her!

This is my first “Girl From Auntie” project. I’m truly amazed by the quality of her design on this pattern. Not only is the pattern extremely well written, the charts are easy to follow and the legend is excellent.

Her use decreases to move the cables, and reduce the size of the hat are very creative. All of the decreases are hidden in the knot pattern, there is not one decrease on the vertical cables, at least until the second to last row. The cable pattern goes all the way to the last row, and the symmetry is never lost.

I love this pattern!

This hat was knit using Blue Sky Alpacas Melange, colorway 811 (Bubblegum), which is a deep pink.  This stuff is wonderful to work with.  It’s smooth, even, and very, very, very soft.  I’ll defintely work with it again.

This is could be a challenging project, if you’ve never done cables before, but it is would also be a truly satisfying learning experience.
