My favorite hat ever ever.
I wanted to share this because I am so in love with the results! I used the All About Ami pattern, and made a few tweaks. The pattern is so graciously offered free and one I truly enjoyed making! The original pattern is property of All About Ami and I am linking you to it below so you can head over to her blog and make your own!
Here is the link to her pattern (see below for the few things I did to tweak it to my liking!)

I used Knitpicks Wool of the Andes worsted weight in Semolina. I used almost all of 2 balls. (No affiliation, but here is the link to that! It is not scratchy to me! http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Wool_of_the_Andes_Worsted_Yarn__D5420103.html
- Increased ribbing to 15 sts and worked for 80 rows, using a 4.5mm hook.
- Worked in pattern repeat as shown for 5 repeats. I then went through one more 3 round repeat cable, 1st round as written, 2nd round I decreased the 6 sts between the cables to 3 sts, 3rd rounds of the repeat I decreased the 4 sts of the cable to 2. I then sewed the remaining hole shut with the end tail.
- Here is an image of how to make the pom pom! I can get about FIFTY from 1/4 yard and that cost me only 6.50. That’s about 13 cents per faux fur pom pom! What?!
I plan to hand wash this baby to preserve both the fur and the yarn!
This is the first I have done with this amazing pattern, but certainly not the last!
Much Love and Yarn,
Stephanie

Lovely improvement! Thank you.
Thank you, credit to allaboutami of course, but it has now become one of my favorite hats to make!
Can you get a little more specific about how you decreased?
Can you tell me which part you are on? It’s been a while since i have done this, but when I noted for a decrease, I worked two stitches together, so if the stitches were cabled, I decreased in a cabled fashion. Meaning, I worked the first cable stitch (front post) until I was the final yarn over away from completing it, then I went to the next stitch and performed that stitch until I was one step away from completing it. I then yarn over and go through all the loops of both stitches still on the hook to make both into one. Does that help?
