Beanie with Honeycomb Cables - Knitting Pattern

This hat was made for the gorgeous Camille. It has honeycomb cables, that seriously, if I had thought more about this, I would have realised that they are reversible.  REVERSIBLE CABLES! Genius.  I feel a scar coming on.  And then I made them in a bright rainbow wool, so its kinda psychedelic.

Anyway, here is the pattern.
