Jim's Cabled Hat

I finally was able to make Jim a new hat. I feel like all the stuff I knit lately is too big or too small. Probably because I don't check my gauge... Oh well.
This hat pattern is called Bushwick Beanie: loveisallyouknit.wordpress.com.
It came out pretty good, but the cabling and intricate pattern became a bit much toward the end. You can't really see the cables in the picture, but you can see what it looks like if you go to the website for the pattern. I like the colors of the self striping yarn. I got the yarn at a shop in Santa Barbara last time we visited.
