Sock It To Me Cabled Cap

I have finally decided to add my Sock It To Me Cabled Cap to my blog for anyone who is interested in making it for themselves or someone they love. It's a simple pattern using the sock yarn of your choice. The brim is a cable floating in garter stitches and you just pick up the edges and knit in the round till you've got a very comfortable hat! Hope you enjoy making it!

P.S. If anyone has already made this hat and would like to share your project with my readers, I would love it if you sent me some pics! Thanks!

This is your cable pattern.
Repeat rows 1- ­ 8 until your piece has 90 garter ridges. Bind off. Sew cast on edge and Bound off edge
together. This is the brim of the hat.
Pick up 160 along the brim of the hat. Place marker to identify beginning of row.
Knit in the round until the body of your hat is 9 inches deep.
Decrease round: *Knit 15, knit 2 together*. Repeat until end of row.
Next row: Knit
Next row: * Knit 14, knit 2 together*. Repeat until end of row.
Next row: * Knit 13, knit 2 together*. Repeat until end of row.

Continue in this fashion until you have 16 stitches remaining. Break yarn, leaving at least 8 inches.
With a darning needle, thread yarn through remaining stitches, cinching top of hat closed. Weave in your ends.

ENJOY!!!
