<\/p>
Important Notes <\/strong><\/p>-Be sure to check your gauge! I found when knitting this beanie with acrylic yarns such as Hobby Lobby\u2019s I Love This Yarn and Impeccable Yarn by Loops and Thread, I needed to size down to 5.0 mm circular knitting needles to get the correct fit. Malabrigo Rios tends to be thinner than most medium worsted acrylic yarns.<\/p>
– Keep knitting tension snug when working the cables so they aren\u2019t too loose. Keeping your tension tighter will mitigate gapping between cables.<\/p>
-I highly recommend using stitch markers as indicated in the pattern. Using SM\u2019s will help you keep track of your knitting. Make sure your beginning round<\/strong> stitch marker is different from the PM\u2019s within the body of the pattern. This will prevent any confusion as to where the beginning of the round is.<\/p>–End on rounds 3 or 7 <\/strong>before beginning decrease<\/p>-The decrease section will add approximately \u00bd inch to your hat. Keep this in mind if adjusting the length of your hat<\/p>
