Cabled Floppy Hat

I'm so excited to share this hat pattern with you guys!  After making my Fingerless Mitts last week, I fell in love with the cable pattern, and knew I had to make a hat to go along with it.  So, I came up with this floppy hat pattern.  I think it would make a wonderful Christmas gift or stocking stuffer, and I hope you guys like it as much as I do!  As always, if you make this hat yourself, please let me know how it turned out by sharing a picture with me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter!
