Boybee's hat

I had some drama with this hat. It was originally going to be based off of a pattern I found called "ten cable baby hat." I've never done cables before... and now I think that I may never do them again. I somehow kept unintentionally increasing and decreasing, and had huge holes where the cables would start and end. If i hadn't jacked it up so much, it would have been beautiful... but it was a nightmare trying to continuously go back and fix mistakes.

I finally gave up, pulled it apart, and VOILA! I made a simple baby beanie, with my first ever pom-pom on top. This is for Suzy's baby that we call Boybee, because he's a boy and he's a baby. He's 4 months old.... and he's a baby. That's all I really know about him. But I'm a new knitter and want to find any reason I can to knit things and try new techniques (hence the attempt at the cables).

So I present to you: Boybee's hat.

I used Cashmerino Aran (oh so soft), It took less than one skein. Size 8 16" circular needle and size 7 DPNs.
