I love the fabric created by squishy cables. Also, the marled look created by holding two strands together provides endless options. The three different cables are bold enough to stand up to the texture and pops of color of the tweed yarn while the fingering weights ties it all together and adds some structure. With this much detail you’ll never be bored while knitting this.

The name of the pattern comes from the game ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’. In my book, cables always win!

Details: The hat transitions smoothly from a simple ribbing to a cable panel featuring three different cables broken up by a neat panel of purls. As designed, this hat should be worn as a close fitting beanie to keep your head and ears warm. It has plenty of stretch. Being knit from the brim up makes it easily customizable for some slouch. This hat is written in a single size but the ribbed nature provides stretch and will hug different head sizes.

Size: Finished measurements are 18 circumference and 8.5” tall.

Yarn: 1 ball of Berroco Providence, 1 ball of Berroco Ultra Wool Fine

Needle: 1 set US #8 / 5.0mm DPNs or 16” long circular
