skpo – Slip, Knit, Pass Over: Slip one stitch to the right needle knitwise, knit in the next stitch and drop this stitch off the left needle, insert the left needle into the slipped stitch, pass it over the knit stitch and it's done.
Ribbing of the cable hat knitting pattern for adults:
Cast on 100 stitches and rib 1 by 1 *k1, p1 keep knitting until piece measures 5 cm or 2 inches.
Body of the cable hat knitting pattern for adults:
I am going to use the same cable pattern as I used for my Bulky Braided Knit Headband.
It is time to change knitting needles from 3.5 to 4.5 or even 5 mm. At this point we are going to increase. Please check my Youtube video to get a better idea how to increase from the previous round.
Body part knits in a multiple of 20 stitches (20 sts – 1 cable). Add 20 more stitches to get in total 6 cables.
Round 1: [inc, k1, k3, inc, k1, k3, inc, k1, k3, inc, k1, k1, p2, k4, inc, k1, k5, inc, k1, k3, inc, k1, p2, k3, inc, k1, k3, inc, k1, k5, inc, k1, k1, p2 ] - repeat twice.
