GAUGE:

16 sts + 18 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in Seed st. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Quick Cabled Hat Reviewed by Karen on 2008-08-17 ****
I made this one for myself, because I like to have my hats unique. I really had to check my gauge..I wouldn't say that I'm an intermediate knitter..until the 2nd time I had to make this hat, because i made it HUGE!! Then I finally got it..but that's my own fault. The directions were very clear and easy- now I can really understand intermediate knitting...and it's a breeze!! This hat always gives people a chuckle when they see it..I tell them..it's warm, and I'm making a fashion statement at the same time!!
