little cable hat

Last night I whipped up another chemo hat for the Harlot appearance. I just didn't feel right unless I had a knit one to present. Its the Type A in me. This ditty is of my own brainstorm (with the inspiration of the little cable fabric from 365 knitting stitches calender). I modified it to be done in the round.
So, if anybody needs a quickie pattern and feels game, here's the pattern:
