When I saw this hat pattern with those gorgeous interlocking cables I knew I had to make it instantly. And I did. It fits ok, but hats just don't look too good on me. I end up looking like a giant hairless face... But I still love this hat! I believe I got the link from here.
I made the 3" ribbed border originally, but it looked terrible on me. So I undid the cast on [not recommended!] and painfully unstitched 15 or so rows stitch by stitch until I had about an inch ribbing, which still needed so be folded. The cables well make up for the border. I might even make this hat again. I forgot what yarn I used [an inexpensive tweed from the local yarn shop]; looks great but itches a bit.
Cheers all!
That looks amazing!! I am so going to try to do that...
