This hat turned out looking really nice which is probably why there are hundreds of them on ravelry. It was really kind of a fiddle-y pattern though, by the time I did the last row of 100+ 1x1 cables I thought I might cry. This is going to my Andrew’s father for Christmas though it is being modeled by Andrew. The end result looked so good (disregard my poor camera skills) that I may have to suck it up an make another one any way.
