Beaumonde-Inspired Hat

I was inspired to create this pattern to match the BEAUTIFUL beaumonde scarf by SmarieK. I give all the credit to her brilliant cables…

Requires;
Heavy worsted weight yarn, 5 mm circular and double pointed needles, stitch marker, tapestry needle.

NOTES:
11 stitch cable = place six stitches on holder and hold to back. K2, p1, k2 and then p1, k2, p1, k2 from cable needle.
Rd = round
k = knit
p = purl
yo = yarn over

Cast on 104 stitches and join into round. Place marker.
