Hooray, I finally finished knitting the "Slouchy Beret"! I saw a sample of this hat at ImagiKnit (aka my yarn heaven) about a few weeks ago and just had to asked them for the pattern. It's on Raverly, and also available on (the pattern creator) Allyson Dykhuizen's blog.
Here are a few photos of the finished piece from my flickr.
I have a giant head (and tiny hands -- go figure), so I had to knit the "large" version (repeated Cable Round 4 and Cable Round 5 twice). I call it my Marge Simpson hat since it also reminds me of her hair (except it's not electric blue).
I used 3 skeins of Cascade Dolce (2 strands held together) in color 971 "silver"; on size 11 double pointed needles.
I’m planning on knitting another version soon using Misti Alpaca Chunky; which is my favorite yarn in the world! ♥ Although I'm still trying to decide on a color... definitely a light color to show off all the cables. :)
Now on to the next one... knitting that is: Dobbs Ferry Knit Cowl.
