Classic Cable Beanie

Discover the charm of this classic cable beanie, expertly knit in the round using two sizes of circular needles. Perfect for improver knitters eager to enhance their skills, this cable pattern is thoughtfully designed to be approachable without sacrificing style. The beanie is available in three versatile sizes: men’s, women’s, and children’s, with clear instructions on how to easily adjust the stitch count to create a custom fit for every head size.

When selecting your yarn, any quality Aran yarn will work beautifully with this pattern. We recommend using 5 mm (US 8) and 5.5 mm (US 9) circular needles; however, keep in mind that Aran yarns can vary slightly in thickness, so it’s best to follow the needle size that your particular yarn suggests for optimal results. Typically, one 100g skein will provide enough yarn to complete one hat, making this project not only enjoyable but also economical.

If you’re new to cabling, we highly recommend using a cable needle for easier handling of stitches. Additionally, a stitch marker is essential to mark the start of each round, and a knitter's sewing needle will be indispensable for weaving in those pesky ends once you've completed your project.

As a proud knitter from the Aran Islands, I am thrilled to share my original designs with you. Each pattern is crafted with love and the authenticity that reflects my heritage. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a gift, this cable beanie is a fantastic project that blends tradition with modern style.
