and if you'd like us to see this cable
or any other cable that you happen to be
working on please use hashtag your
inspirations and we can see what you're
up to
so let's get started on the Hat alright
as is often the case I have cast on a
teeny tiny sample instead of a big giant
bulky hat so I can keep it all on camera
you will cast on the required number of
stitches and you will work in knit two
purl two ribbon following the
instructions until it's about four
inches long then you're going to change
to the larger set of needles and proceed
as follows knit four one two three four
knit front and back so knit in the front
of the stitch do not push it off the
left-hand needle knit in the back leg of
the same stitch which gives you a one
stitch increase and then you can push it
off the back needle and we're going to
repeat that around one two three
for knit front and back knit in the
front leave it on the left-hand needle
knit in the back push it off and we're
gonna do that all the way around after
I've done that increase row I'm moving
over to the cable chart but of course we
also have it written out in text for you
whichever you prefer so I'm going to do
two rounds that were knit eight purl
four repeat from asterisk around and
there they are here knit eight purl four
repeat around now I've already put those
on because I'm fairly confident you can
handle that on your own what I wanted to
show you is the cable so we have these
abbreviations that are C for B and C for
F that's cable for back and cable
forefront and we have those instructions
written out for you on the very first
page of the pattern okay so this round
begins with C for b which is cable for
back I'm going to slip the next two
stitches onto the cable needle one two
and leave in the back of the work that's
what the B stands for in C for B then
I'm going to knit the next two stitches
one two and then I'm going to knit the
two stitches from the cable needle one
two then the next instruction is C for F
or cable 4 front and that says slip the
next two stitches onto the cable needle
one two and leave it front of work knit
the next two stitches one two
and then the two stitches from the cable
needle one two and then the next part of
the instruction says purl four have to
get my yarn to the front of the work
purl four one two three four and so
that's what that first repeat looks like
so we're going to repeat what's in that
asterisk or those twelve stitches in
that cable panel on the diagram we're
going to repeat that all the way around
shall we take a look at that one more
time we're going to cable 4 back so
that's moving one two stitches on the
cable needle and leaving it at the back
of the work knit 2 1 2 and then knitting
the two stitches from the cable needle
one two and then we're going to cable 4
front move two stitches onto the cable
needle one two drop it at the front of
the work knit two stitches from the next
needle one two and then knit the two
stitches from the cable needle
one two and then pearl four one two
three now looking back at both the text
and the diagram the next round is going
to be knit eight pearl four and then
we're going to repeat that four round
pattern so rounds one and two are also
knit eight pearl the third round
is that cable for back cable forefront
pearl for repeat so you're going to keep
doing this until the work measures about
ten inches or twenty five and a half
centimeters ending on a fourth round now
to shape the crown you're going to do
some decreasing and that is going to
affect the number of stitches in your
cable however you will be able to see
what's going on because of course you'll
have a much bigger sample by then you're
going to keep those purl stitches
aligned you're going to keep those
cables aligned and it's gonna be super
easy to close up that crown and finish
it with the most adorable pom pom so
