Notes

To use up the very last of this yarn.

After knitting Hannah and Debra a hat, I decided to make Rachael a matching hat too. Unfortunately, there was only 34 yards left. A light bulb went off and I decided to knit her a headband instead. She wears her hair up most of the time anyway, a headband is more practical for her.

Cast on multiple times, knit entire cable multiple times. Finally figured out the magic cast-on number and now have the instruction for the cable memorized!

Mods:
Cast on 10 stitches.
Slipping the first stitch of each row.
Knit 1x1 ribbing for 3 rows.
Knit in reverse stockinette until knitting measures 3” from beginning, end with right side row.

Increase row (wrong side):
Slip 1, M1, (K1, M1, P1, M1)3x, K1, M1, P2 (18 stitches)

Knit 2x2 ribbing for 5 rows.

Row 6 (WS):
(K2, P2)2x, K2tog, (P2, K2)2x (17 stitches)

Start Cables:
use only the instructions for the cables between the stitch markers on the Millie Hat pattern.

Odd rows are worked as stated in pattern.
Even rows, K the knits and P the purls.

until…..

row 18:
K3, P4, K1, K2tog,P2, K3

row 22:
