Sizes: Adult Small (Adult Medium; Adult Large) (the small should fit up a 21" - 22" head; the medium a 22" - 23" head; the large a 23" - 24" head)
Yarn: Schachenmayr Lova (67% Acrylic, 30% Wool, 3% Polyamide; 55 yards [50 meters]/50 grams); #0083 Green Flash - 1 - 2 skeins (2 skeins; 2 skeins)
Needles: One set of needles in size US 15, one cable needle (cn)
Notions: Tapestry needle
Gauge: 11 stitches = 4 inches
So let's do this! First, cast on 15 stitches loosely. Then, knit the following rows:
Row 1 (wrong side): k1, p13, k1
Row 2: k1, (slip 1 with yarn in back (wyib), k1) 7 times
Knit rows 1 & 2 until piece measures roughly 6.5" (7"; 7.5") and you've just finished row 2 of the pattern. Then, we'll move to our cabled center, for which we'll need the following notation:
front cable (fc): slip 3 stitches to cn and hold in front; k3; k3 from cn
back cable (bc): slip 3 stitches to cn and hold in back; k3; k3 from cn
And now that we've got our notation down, let's proceed as follows:
Cable Row 1 and all odd numbered rows (wrong side): k1, p6, k1, p6, k1
Cable Row 2: k1, bc, p1, fc, k1
Cable Rows 4 & 6: k7, p1, k7
Knit rows 1 - 6 three times, and then knit rows 1 - 3 once more. And once that's done, we'll resume our original pattern, which I've copied below as well. So let's continue like so:
Row 1 (right side): k1, (slip 1 with yarn in back (wyib), k1) 7 times
Row 2: k1, p13, k1
Knit rows 1 & 2 until this section of the piece measures roughly 6.5" (7"; 7.5") and you've just finished row 2 of the pattern. Bind off loosely. Block, seam, and tuck in ends.
