This pattern is all charted, except for the crown decreases, which are written out. The chart is included in the pattern.

The cables are a bit weird, but that is to keep the inside of the diamonds in pattern. It is also the reason the chart is color-coded. The crown decreases are also a bit odd, but again, it is to keep in pattern as far up as possible.

It really uses less than 200 yards. I had a partial skein of the Superwash, and I didn’t even use all of the partial.

I designed this to look like some of the store-bought hats I have seen guys wearing. It’s like those, except you don’t have to use acrylic, nor will you have a seamed X on the top of your head.

UPDATE JUNE 2021
Due to the ongoing accessibility issues, I am removing all my designs from Ravelry. I am working on getting them up on payhip.
