This listing is for one written and charted 23-page Digital PDF File download with a beading photo tutorial containing instructions on how to knit this elegant beaded cabled slouchy hat. Beading is of course optional, and placement is included within the pattern if beading is desired. There are details for a child size (19”or 48.3 cm head circumference), and adult size (22” or 55.9 cm head circumference). After blocking if Riptide DK yarn is used, the hat will fit 19”-21” (48.3-53.3 cm) head circumference for child; 22”-24” (55.9-61 cm) for adult. This hat brim does stretch to accommodate. This pattern was test knitted successfully. I’m excited to report that the test knits were completed with ease, and they all looked fabulous. Please Note: The beads on the body of the hat and decreases are peek-a-boo in style, as they often do not all show at the same time during wear due to the nature of the cable construction. A solid or slightly variegated color yarn is recommended so the cable design stands out to its full potential.
