This downloadable PDF file contains a collection of six cable knit hat patterns that will allow you to practice your cable knitting skills, while quickly creating the ultimate winter accessory – the knit beanie!
These patterns all call for the same yarn weight and needle sizes so that you don’t have to worry about collecting materials and can focus on practicing the art of cable knitting!
Each hat is knit in the round (from the bottom up) on circular knitting needles, switching to double pointed needles when necessary during the decreasing of stitches for shaping the top.
