The Callie Cable Hat
Hello Friends!
This is a quick post today. I would like to just share the Callie Cable hat with you. A beautiful spring/summer hat with an interesting cable motif on the side.
Only a couple of notes before you get started:
- Please read the notes for the pattern carefully. Each round is ended by a join, and each new round started in that first stitch. This is important to keep the cable nice and straight.
- Please make sure you have the right gauge. As you probably know, not all sport weight yarn is the same. It is important to adjust your hook to the yarn you are using so the hat turns out the right size.
And with that, here goes:
Sizes:
Toddler (18-19” head circumference)
Child (20-21” head circumference)
Adult (22-23” head circumference)
Notes:
- The chain at the beginning does not count as a stitch
- Join to the first stitch after every round and put your first stitch into the same stitch as the join
Materials:
- #2/Sport weight yarn. Sample was made with Schachenmayr Catania (125m/50g) (1, 1, 2 skeins)
- F/3.75mm
Gauge: 10dc/6rows in 2”
Abbreviations:
Ch – Chain
St(s) – Stitch(es)
Dc – Double Crochet
Tr – Trebble
Slst – Slip Stitch
Fpdc – Front Post Double Crochet
MR – Magic Ring
Cable Motif:
This is the stitch sequence for each round in the cable motif. It is worked over 19 sts. Work round according to instructions, then work this sequence when instructions read “CABLE” then keep working on the round according to the instructions for each size.
Cable Pattern:
1Fpdc in next st, 1dc in next st, skip next 3 sts, 1tr into each of next 3 sts, then going behind the 3tr made, work 1tr into each st that was skipped. 1dc into next st, 1fpdc into next st, 1dc into next st. Skip next 3 sts, put 1tr into each of next 3 sts, then going in front of 3tr made, work 1tr into the skipped three stitches. CAREFULL, not to catch the trebbles made.* 1dc in next st, 1fpdc in next st.
*To be able to work in front of the trebbles, you will have to put in your hook as usual, then bring it forward in front of your trebbles, keeping the yarn in front of your work for this step, finish stitch as usual. The pictures show the hook and yarn in front of the work. It’s a bit tricky, but possible J
