Chunky Cable Hat
Don’t be discouraged by the pattern for this gorgeous cable-knit hat! While it may appear complex at first glance, the design is simpler than it looks! This delightful hat features a series of intricate cables that slowly ascend from the base to the crown, thanks to the thickness of the luxurious yarn. As you work through this pattern, you’ll notice that there are more 'cable rows' than typically found in standard knitting patterns, allowing you to fully appreciate the artistry of your crafting.
Due to the travelling nature of the cables, you may encounter situations where the cable crosses over the beginning and end of the round. To accommodate this, the end of the round is adjusted by one or two stitches. Don’t let this minor alteration alarm you—it all comes together beautifully in the end!
What You Will Need:
- 2 skeins of Mrs. Moon's Plump yarn (displayed in Peppermint Cream)
- Contrast yarn for the pompom (shown in Bubblegum)
- A stitch marker to easily keep track of your rounds
Tension: Achieve a gauge of 10 stitches to 10 cm in stocking stitch using 10mm knitting needles. This ensures your hat will turn out just the right size!
Mrs. Moon's Plump yarn is crafted from the highest quality, ethically sourced superfine merino and baby alpaca fibers, making it exceptionally soft, warm, and perfect for cozy winter wear. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to tackle a new challenge, this cable-knit hat pattern is certain to become a cherished addition to your wardrobe. Embrace the beauty of cable knitting and create a stunning piece that’s both stylish and functional!
