Complete rows 2-7 3 more times then begin to decrease.
Follow in pattern as follows: HDC rows only
HDC decrease 2, hdc 4 (in the cables) HDC decrease over 2, HDC 4 (in the cable stitches) keep decreasing in this way and following the pattern until you have nothing but the 4 stitches that make up the cables left.
Do one row of hdc decreases all the way around and secure yarn and cut. Use your large eye needle and close up the remaining hole gathering it tight and securing and weaving in all ends.
In the picture at the top of the sea glass blue hat I added one more row of cables to make it more of a slouch, the pattern as written makes the graphite colored hat …..
Enjoy your new hat
