Craft in the Bay pattern

Ruth and I have been really busy today putting together the kits for Craft in the Bay tomorrow.  As well as taking loads of yarn and patterns we thought it would be nice to post one of the kit patterns here -- just drop into the shop for the yarn!  I'm not entirely sure why the pictures are upside down but will sort that out another time!!!

Cabled Hat and Mitts
​
 
Materials:
West Yorkshire Spinners Aran balls 100% Blue Faced Leicester British Wool   50g = 83 m
Two balls/Three balls if knitting larger than pattern as written
1 pair of 5mm needles, cable needle, stitch markers and a tapestry needle for seaming
Gauge: 18 sts x 24 rows = 10 cm square in stocking stitch
 
Notes: The hat and mitts are worked sideways and flat in garter stitch with cables.
Increase or decrease the number of cast-on stitches to adjust the height of the hat. Short rows give the shape of the top of the hat. When working short rows, remember to wrap the stitch so as not to make a hole
