Cable embellished hat

Discover the perfect accessory for any season with this beautifully crafted beanie style hat, designed for both warmth and style. This hat is expertly knitted from the brim upward using reversed stocking stitch, showcasing a stunning large cable motif prominently displayed on its side. The crown of the hat features elegant pleats that provide a soft, gathered finish, making it not only fashionable but also comfortable to wear.

Designed to fit a head circumference of size 20 (22, 24) in / 51 (56, 61) cm, this beanie is a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Whether for yourself or as a thoughtful handmade gift, this pattern is ideal for knitters of various skill levels.

For this project, you will need approximately 80-90 yards (70-85 meters) of Aran weight yarn. We recommend using New Lanark Heather Mixtures Aran in the beautiful shade of Bramble, which enhances the textures of the cables and adds a touch of elegance to the beanie.

To achieve the perfect knit, maintain a gauge of 16 stitches and 24 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) in stocking stitch. Having the right tools is essential: you'll need a size 5mm (US 8) set of double-pointed needles, along with 3 stitch markers, a cable needle for that striking cable work, and a tapestry needle for those finishing touches.

Whether you're looking to expand your knitting skills or seeking a stylish addition to your collection, this beanie knitting pattern is perfect for you. Embrace the joy of creating a warm, cozy beanie that will turn heads and keep you snug during colder months.
