Although I have been a self-taught crocheter for a few months now, I wanted to step outside of the usual single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet patterns and face my fears of front post double crochet and back post double crochet. This hat is basically all fpdc and bpdc.
Personally, I love the neat look of knitted items but crocheting is so much faster and easier. I was so excited when I found this pattern for a child and adult cable hat! The first time I tried the child pattern with an H or I hook, the hat came out too small for my son. I decided to use a K hook and it came out beautifully and I love how it covers most of his ears; perfect for the winter season. I also used single crochet for the brim, instead of fpdc and bpdc.
I have to agree that this is not a beginner's pattern but once you get this down, it will feel like it is even easier than a beginner's pattern.
Enjoy!
