Penguin is sporting the latest creation. It's got a simple diamond cable filled with seed stitch surrounded by a simple cable on both sides. Here's the layout:
P4, 4-stitch cable, 10-stitch diamond, P4, 4-stitch cable, P4, 4-stitch cable, 10-stitch diamond, P4, 10-stitch diamond, P4, 4-stitch cable, P4, 4-stitch cable, 10-stitch diamond, P4, 4-stich cable, P4. The edges are seed stitched.
It's not exactly like the one found at knitty.com, but close to it, because I did not have the specified yarn size as stated on the original pattern, but it's close enough. When I find the link I'll post it. Here it is: http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring05/PATTtrellis.html
The hat was stitched flat: P2, 4-stitch cable, P4, 10-stitch diamond, P4, 4-stitch cable, P2. After reaching the correct circumference, sew together. Pick up stitches on one side of the hat and decrease by 5 stitches evenly with every row, until you have less than 10 stitches left. Sew together/pull together. Finish off with a braid and a simple tassel.
