Mr. PieKnits hat is now available as a free pattern download!
I managed to get a little better shot showing the cabled decreases at the crown. It is tricky to photograph the top of your own head! I would like to get some photos of Mr. PieKnits modeling his hat but our daylight hours together in the winter are pretty much weekend limited.
This was designed as a gift for my husband who tends towards simple knits but still wants something interesting. While most of this hat is worked in a simple rib pattern, subtle cables spring forth twisting into the top decreases adding interest. The result, an engaging knit for both the wearer and knitter! As a very stretchy hat, it fits most adults.
The pattern contains both written and fully charted instructions.
Ths sample shown is knit in Schulana Cashmere Millefiori, other suggested alternative yarns are listed below. NOTE: This pattern was worked to use up ALL of the possible yarn without a swatch left over.

Awesome hat pattern, and you're right- it's perfect for people who like plain hats, but not too plain!

Yay! Thank you for writing this up...my husband's conehead days are over :-)

Thanks for the cool hat pattern! I hope I can do it!
Great hat! I hope I can pull it off :-)
hello, the hat is beautiful!
Being French, I have trouble translating the pattern.
Is it possible to have the French pattern, please?
Thank you.
bonjour, le bonnet est très beau!
Étant Française, j'ai du mal à traduire le modèle.
Est-il possible d'avoir le modèle en français, s'il vous plait?
Merci.
