Et Voila!

Ta da! Here's the Star Crossed Slouchy Beret I made for my niece. I've included the link to the blog where you can get this lovely pattern. I loved making this hat. I loved everything about it..the yarn, the pattern and the cables. Yes I loved making cables! I loved it so much that I promised my sister the exact same hat. Oh and I also ordered 8 more hanks of Pastaza yarn for future projects.
When I first saw this photo my niece sent me I was sorta like ummm...I don't do cables. I'm glad she's picky and only wanted THIS hat so I walked a tightrope out of my comfort zone. I must admit, it's easy to do when you have 2 people, like Al and Alyssa, holding the net beneath you. They guided me a bit but, in all honesty, it looks a lot more difficult than it was. I loved making the cables and thinking "that doesn't look cabley" then a couple of rows later, yeah...it DID look like a cable. Magic, I tell ya.

I adore this hat! So friggin' cute. Let me know when you hang out your shingle so I can buy me one. If that is a ways off, I will buy one from ya when you have the time to fit me in!

I just knew you would fall head over heals for cables once you gave it a try. It had the same effect on me.
The hat looks wonderful. I hope you are going to make yourself one too.

It's gorgeous. ♥
I have been eying that pattern for awhile but I'm scared of cables. Now I will have to try it for sure.
