The Britney -- A Mock Cable Stitch Hat |
Therefore the first time I tried to convert the mock cable stitch I ended up using for The Classic Twist Hat, I ended up with an extra, lonely little narrow cable at the end of the row. As you can see from the picture, this version doesn't look bad at all. It just offends the inner perfectionist in some of us...

BRIM
Row 1: knit to the end
Rows 2-20: Repeat Row 1
When you've completed Row 20, find the first stitch (the end of your yarn should still be dangling from it). Loop the first stitch back up over Peg #1. Continue around the loom until the entire first row is looped back up onto the loom. Knit the last row of stitches over the first row of stitches.
Switch to Yarn Color B

To create a tousle, wind Yarn B around three fingers around 20 times. Tie a short piece of yarn tightly around the middle of this bundle of yarn. Cut the looped ends of the yarn and trim to the desired shape. Sew to the top of your toboggan using your yarn and a tapestry needle.
