Cabled Hat – Free Knitting Pattern
Crown Decrease:
Round 1: *P2tog, k4, p1 – Rep from * to end of round. (78, 83, 90, 96 sts)
Round 2: *P1, k4, p1 – Rep from * to end of round.
Round 3: *P1, k2, k2tog, p1 – Rep from * to end of round. (65, 69, 75, 80 sts)

Don’t bind off.
Leaving a long tail, break yarn and thread through remaining stitches.
Pull tight and stitch it to close.
Weave in all ends.
Gently block as needed to form the hat and obtain optimal size.
And this is the END!

I knit, and finish, a lot of things that I then put in a drawer and forget, or just don”t have the opportunity to wear. My charity pile now contains 2 beautiful lace shawls I like to make them but my cup runneth over, shawl-wise. So I am trying to find some way of knitting without cluttering the place up! Or maybe I should indeed take up some giant embroidery project that will take forever!
Double-check your stitch count. 1+4+1 = 6 sets repeat. And 78 ÷ 6 = 13 repeats. The math is even.
Also, no decrease is made on round 2, so you should still have those 78 stitches. Let me know if you need further assistance, I’m sure we can figure out what happened.
Mary.
I am having trouble with the decreasing. When I decrease on Round 1, I end up with the 78 sts., but when I try to do Round 2, which reads *P1, k4, P1, I end up with
P1, K4, P2. What did I do wrong? Hope you can help. I just love this pattern, and want to make many more.
Thanks, Gail
