Free for personal use, please do not make these to sell. If you do I might have to hunt you down and hit you with one of my muppet fur thongs. It's a free pattern, so no need to get all piratey. ;)

Thanks for posting this pattern - I'm SO making a hat :)
so it has been 3 days since your last post...WTF????
I know! I need to post more. I am setting up a CafePress shop now, so watch for that post to come. :)
I can't believe no one has commented on Rav. about this hat pattern. I was the very first cabled hat I "tackled" and it came out so nice. T You for making this in the round!
