Sometimes I have the most fun trying to figure out how to do the top part of a hat. Most of the time I end up just following the pattern with a k2tog slowly eating the stitches. Sometimes I get struck by a lightning bolt of inspiration and go with something more interesting.
At one point I saw a picture of a purse that looked like a section of orange. I then used that and did a few orange themed baby hats. I wanted the sections of the orange to become smaller but wanted the sections to not curve. Anyone who has been here a while or went back and read the older posts should remember it.
I will be using the same idea for the top of my current hat. I will be decreasing on either side of the cables until they have taken up all the center stitches. At that point I'm thinking of decreasing on both sides of the odd numbered cables so I will still decrease at the same rate. Once those have also been taken up I was thinking of doing a double decrease centered around the last stitch left from the cables that had been decreased.
