Note: the stitches can get VERY tight because of the cabling every row, even if you don’t ordinarily knit  tightly, so you may want to go up a needle size or use thinner yarn to compensate. For  yarn , I used: - Caron Simply Soft for the black - Red Heart Super Saver for the white - Noro Kibou for the variegated - Red Heart Super Saver and misc. stash yarn for the 3-color gradient I used  size 6 needles  for all examples, which was perfect for the Noro and Caron and WAY too tight for the RHSS Stitch abbreviations : FC : Insert right needle into front of 2nd stitch on left needle and knit. Leave on needle. Knit first stitch and pull both off left needle. BC : Insert right needle into back of 2nd stitch on left needle & knit. Leave on needle. Knit first stitch and pull both off left needle. Pattern: CO multiple of 8 sts (I used 64 for a small hat and 80 for a larger one). Join work and PM. Base row: K1, *P2, K2 to last 3 sts, P2, K1. Continue rib for 6 rows or desired base height. Pa
