Stitch markers
Cable needle
Pompom maker (optional)
Tension
18 sts and 34 rounds to 10cm [4in] over garter stitch worked helically (this may vary from your flat garter stitch tension, since it requires both knit and purl stitches)

Pattern notes
The hat starts with a rib brim, before establishing helical garter stitch with a slip-stitch cable panel. On completion of the cable panel decreases are worked to finish the hat. A pompom may be added for extra amusement.
Special techniques
Further information about helical garter stitch, and working from a cable chart at the same time as working helically can be found in our ebook, Something New to Learn About Helical Knitting.
