Turn heads while wearing this! Camille is not your standard hat; the cables only enhance its clever construction. Knit this with a shorter body, as above, or with a longer body for added coverage.
See project page for details. This pattern is also on Ravelry.
If found, errata will be published on this page.
Finished Size: Fits up to 23" head circumference
Yarn: Lana Grossa Superlana(100% Superwash Virgin Merino Wool; 1.76oz/50g; 120yd/110m) in #16 Blue, which is a beautifully vibrant dark robin's egg blue.
Needles: US4/3.5mm
Skill Level: Intermediate. Experience with cabling without a cable needle, short rows, reading charts.
This one is bound to. I'd hinted to Yahaira that this cabled hat had something unusual about it. Do you see?
Do you see the cable curving around the side of the head? And the rib?
Do you see the cable continuing over the top to the back?
Do you? Don't you want to take a second look, and a third, and maybe even a fourth?

I got the idea for Camille while I was knitting Hailey's Zeebee. Sideways construction is such an interesting thing, and how awesome would it be if you could play it up with squishy cables?
This is named for our neighbor's daughter, Camille. She's a cutie with blonde curls, a little screamer, a bundle of energy with a charming smile. The parents dress her in the most mismatched clothes; I imagine her as a bohemian when she's older, traipsing around the city in her orange shift, flower stockings, red socks, and purple shoes. And this hat, jauntily perched on her head.
Dear readers, what do you think? Do you like it?
In French, it's the verb allonger. It's what we're doing this year. We're not going to Greece after all; we're staying.
Here.
In the middle of quality limestone rock climbing, all within an hour's drive. In the middle of the wine region, leaves on trees and grapevines now turning all sorts of golds and red. In the countryside, in our own little house with the figs and olives, the grapevines, and the gorgeous view.
Here's one for Eye Candy Saturday. See les petites chattes outside the window? We were in Nyons the other day, and after checking out the Phildar store we decided to go around the entire town. There they were, mewing with mischief, trying to find a way down. We'd have caught those naughty things had they tried! Instead, after minutes of sniffing and pawing, they retreated back to the warmth of the apartment. (Added November 1: I just found a Cats of Old Nyons blog. Hee!)
Hello, winter! Three days ago it rained all day and we woke up to see a light powdering of snow on the ridge facing our house. Good thing I knit this hat last week. It's ready! It's not your conventional cabled hat; I haven't seen anything else like it. It's utterly striking in this blue color, like robin's egg, but darker. Stay tuned this Wednesday!
Bl-hog-worthy: Oh, you'll want to see this. I subscribe to Kaffe Fassett's newsletter, and in the most recent one Brandon Mably talks about the charity event he and Mr. Fassett attended in Bath. They decorated life-size fiberglass pigs for auction, and you can see all the pigs here. Aren't they great? My favorites were Mr. Fassett's Princess Primavera, John Garrihy's Sky Blue Pig, Corrie Schrijver's Widcombe Warbler, and Lee Moss' Brutus. I see these fiberglass sculptures more often now; they're a nice way of representing cities. I know Nuremberg, Germany has lions; Gap, France has cows, and Los Angeles, U.S. has angels.
