My first cable hat that I knit without a pattern :)

I'm proud of this hat even if the decreasing did become a little random toward the end.  I figured out my tension; determined that I did NOT have an appropriate pattern and knit the damn thing on my on.  I DID MATH!!! 

Some details: hat ribbing is k1 p1 for 2", one row of purl, then 2" more of k1 p1. I then folded the rim inwards and knit it together.  The cable is repeated twice. It's a 12 stitch braid (my first braided cable, I might add).  I've taken notes as I knit so I MIGHT be able to repeat this hat in the near future.
