Cabled Braids Hat
Topic: cables

 

 

The pattern editing for this great hat is almost done. The applied I-cord edging was WAY COOL, and I opted to keep the braid ends flatter by tacking them together, instead of tying, as was done in the first hat.  Many heads have tried this on, and we are finding that the bigger this hat is, the better it looks, so one of the sizes is 26" finished.

It became a religious experience to get all three braid ends to emerge seamlessly from the applied edging on the INSIDE. I have spared the pattern followers this in the pattern, but would be glad to chat at length about this issue in any correspondence.

As mentioned before, this pattern will be available in September's COUNTRYWOOL NEWS free of charge, so be sure to sign up at countrywool.

That hat continues to bring a smile!  It's definitely going on my fall knitting list.

I love that hat, as you well know.  The link won't take me to countrywool to sign up.  I know exactly who I'd make the hat for.  She'll love it.  I think I need to make one for me too!
