Twisted Stitch Cabled Baby Hat

I had a request from my dear fiance to make a baby hat for a coworker's new baby boy.

I think it worked out pretty well. Let me know how it works out for you...I'm new to pattern writing.

Twisted Stitch Cabled Baby Hat

Needles: 6 and 7 US circular 16” and 7 US double points

Yarn: Comfort worsted

Ribbing pattern: (all knitting is through the back loop to twist the stitch) *P2, K1, P2, K1, P2, K2* Repeat until end of round

Cast on 70 sts on smaller needles. Join for working in the round being careful not to twist sts.

Work ribbing pattern for 5 rounds.

Switch to larger needles and begin main hat pattern.

Main hat pattern:

Round 1: *P2, K4, P2, K2 tbl* Repeat until end of round

Round 2: *P2, Cbl4F, P2, K2 tbl* Repeat until end of round

Rounds 3-5: Repeat round 1.

Work main hat pattern 4 times.

Work round 1 once more.

Decrease rounds:

Round 1: *P2; sl 2 sts onto cable needle, hold in front, knit 2, k2tog off the cable needle; P2, K2tbl* Repeat until end of round.

Round 2: *P2, K3, P2, K2 tbl*

Round 10: slip 1 st, *K1, P2tog*

Round 11: k2tog all the way around (7 sts remain)

Round 12: k2tog 3 times, K1

Work remaining 4 sts in an i-cord for 3.5 inches. Slip the lose end of the i-cord through the four stitches a few times, then slip through the i-cord before cutting the yarn end.
