Knitted hat

Author's words- I used this pattern as the basis, but after three cable twists I skipped the fourth.  I used Australian merino from Pehorka, 400m/100g, knitted in 2 strands with needles 2.75, exactly 2 skeins were used, a tail remained literally half a meter.
During the holidays I talked myself into taking a walk wearing the hat)))
For more pleasure while knitting this hat I made markers for myself)))

The pattern repeat is 12 stitches + 2 edge stitches + 7 for symmetry of the design. Repeat from rows 1-8. The chart accounts for knit and purl rows.  Purl rows are shown as they look on the right side.

1. selvedge stitch.

2. □ knit stitch on the knit row or purl stitch on the purl row.

3 - purl stitch on the knit row or knit stitch on the purl row.

4. (do with the help of two needles for cables)
slip 1 stitch onto an auxiliary needle in front of the work, then slip the next 3 stitches onto the second auxiliary needle behind the work,
knit the 5th stitch, then the 3 stitches behind the work, then the stitch in front of the work.
