Ripple Lattice Hat

Ripple Lattice Hat

All right!  So it's officially time to post my first hat, which I've named the "Ripple Lattice Hat" since it's both ripple-y and lattice-y.  Genius, I know.  Specs, recipe, and more pics below!  Oh, and quick note - if I use any terms or symbols that aren't familiar to you, please go to the Glossary!

Yarn: SMC Riana Color (50% New Wool, 45% Acrylic, 5% Viscose; 131 yards [120 meters]/50 grams); #5843 - don't know the color name, might be discontinued, but I only used one skein!!!

Needles: One 16" circular needle in size 9, one set of double pointed needles (dpn), also in size 9

Notions: Marker, tapestry needle, cable needle (cn) or extra dpn for cabling

My three-year-old REALLY wanted to hold
the ball for the picture!
