beanie with brim pattern?

[gremlin]

A friend of mine saw this hat and wants me to make one for her. Does anyone know where I can get the pattern for it? Or, even a pattern for the criss cross diamond pattern? She likes the look of that stitch, but it is not one I am familiar with. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The stitch pattern is a widely spaced cable, made with front post dc. Very cool hat.

 

Here is a pattern that is vaguely similar, you'd have to experiment with crossing the fpdcs which are just ribs in the pattern. Also you should be able to go with straight dc instead of the chain-1 spaces (I just glanced at the pattern)

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/city-girl-cap this has sets of 2 ribs,might be trickier to adapt. (maybe you can sell your friend on ribs??)

I found a few other similar ones but in bulky yarn, I don't think you'd get the effect you want...in fact your pic might have been made with something finer than worsted weight.

 

Here is a link of instructions to make cables, these are more complex than the one you are looking at but I hope it helps http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa062798.htm

What a beautiful hat! Here are some diamond beanies -- none just like the one you pictured but maybe something to start working from. As far as a brim..... Try any of the newsboy hats -- here is one that would look great combined with one of the diamond beanies: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/breezy-brimmed-beanie, another: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/faux-cabled-brimmed-beanie,
