Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in forest green and white
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 96 stitches using the forest green yarn. Ensure that your stitches are not twisted when you join in the round.
2. Ribbing: Work in k2, p2 ribbing for 2 inches. This will form the snug brim of your cap.
3. Cable Pattern:
   • Rounds 1-4: *K6, p2; repeat from * to end of the round.
   • Round 5: *C6F (cable 6 front), p2; repeat from * to end of the round.
   • Rounds 6-10: *K6, p2; repeat from * to end of the round.

   Continue repeating Rounds 1-10 until the piece measures 8 inches from the cast-on edge.

4. Begin Decreasing for the Crown:
   • Round 1: *K4, k2tog, p2; repeat from * to end of the round.
   • Round 2: *K5, p2; repeat from * to end of the round.
   • Round 3: *K3, k2tog, p2; repeat from * to end of the round.
   • Round 4: *K4, p2; repeat from * to end of the round.

   Continue this pattern, decreasing one knit stitch before each p2 until you have 12 stitches remaining.

5. Finishing: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the remaining 12 stitches and pull tight to close the top of the cap. Secure the yarn and weave in any loose ends.
6. Create the Pom-Pom: Using the white yarn, create a fluffy pom-pom. Attach it securely to the top of the cap.
