This is my typical “almost-beret” hat. I still don’t know if such form looks nice.

I started with italian CO, than turned to 3k3p-rib and reduced it to 3k2p-rib and 4 st cables after every 17 sts of rib. 3k2p-rib sections gradually turned into 24 st cables. Finally I decreased the width of wide cables from 24 st to 6 st to form the top.

I actually used approx. 2,7 skeins.
