Mock Cable Hat
by Jane Comyns
I originally made this Mock Cable Hatto go with my popular Kids Mock Cable Scarf. A lot of people had asked me if I could design an accompanying hat so that they could knit a set for the "special little someone" in their lives. When I finished the first sample, my teenage daughter loved it so much that she begged me to make an adult version as well. Now the Mock Cable Hat is not just for kids, adults can enjoy it too! @ 2010 Jane E. Comyns. All Rights Reserved. Page 1 of 4

To Make Tassel
Cut a length of yarn approximately 52" long. Place a pencil in the loop and hold firmly. With the open ends together, twist until the yarn becomes tight and starts to twist back on itself. Fold the length in half and allow this twist to happen. You now have a piece of cord. Cut a piece of cardboard measuring the approximate length of the desired tassel. Wind yarn around it about 25 times. Thread cord through one end and tie to secure tassel. This will become the top. Now cut through yarn at opposite end releasing it from the cardboard. Thread the end of the cord on to a tapestry needle and then wind the cord around the top of your tassel about a thumb width down. @ 2010 Jane E. Comyns. All Rights Reserved. Page 3 of 4
Secure by passing the needle up through the top of the tassel to finish. Make two of these and attach to the top of the hat, varying the length of each one for a touch of style.
