You Don’t Know Our Women Hat
He cast on 108 stitches and he is a really tight knitter. He didn't like that the cables didn't line up with the ribbing, so he isn't doing ribbing-this makes it flare out a bit at the bottom, but when it stretches over the head you can't tell.He did the first inch in k6,p3 and then started the cable pattern (adjusting it to line up with the first inch, he is starting with a cable, and ending with a p3 rather than starting with p2 and ending with p1).
The decreasing was a bit different as well. Each decreasing round he decreased something different, starting with decreasing the purls from 3 to 2- then decreasing the odd cables from 6 to four, then the even cables. So it looks like the cables are getting smaller (which they are).
The decreasing went as follows:
Cable round Decrease purl stitches (-12 stitches)
Knit in established pattern Decrease odd cables (-12 stitches)
Knit in estabished pattern Decrease even cables (-12 stitches)
Knit in established pattern- cable round Decrease purl stitches (-12 stitches)
Knit in established pattern Decrease odd cables (-12 stitches)
Knit in estabished pattern Decrease even cables (-12 stitches)
Knit in established pattern- cable round
There are 36 stitches left K1, k2tog (24 stitches left)
Knit k2tog(12 stitches left)
