Classy Cable Hat
Introducing our elegantly designed cabled hat pattern — a perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication. This stylish hat was created from a commission request for a basic ribbed design infused with an added touch of elegance, and the thrilled recipient remarked that it felt undeniably "classy"!
The hat features a 2x2 ribbing that beautifully highlights the intricate cables gracefully winding their way to the crown. Crafted to cater to your individual style, instructions are provided for two lengths: a long watch cap version, which can be rolled up for double thickness and extra warmth, and a short beanie length that showcases the stunning cable detail.
This one-size-fits-all hat is suitable for small, medium, and large adults as well as teens, making it an adaptable accessory for anyone. The size specifications include a length of 8 (11)” or 20.5 (28) cm and a circumference ranging from 18-24” or 46-61 cm.
For yarn, we recommend 1 skein of Cascade Yarns Cascade 220 Wool (220 yds/200m, 3.5oz/100g; 100% wool), or any worsted weight yarn with wool content to ensure warmth and durability. The results are not only cozy but also high-quality, perfect for chilly days.
To create this beautiful hat, you will need US 7 (4.5mm) 16”/40cm circular needles and double-pointed needles for decreasing, or you can choose other needle sizes to achieve the recommended gauge. Speaking of which, the gauge for this pattern is 20 stitches and 25 rows per 4”/10 cm in stockinette stitch.
This cabled hat pattern is not just a project; it's an opportunity to craft a timeless accessory that can elevate any winter outfit. Perfect for gifting or a delightful addition to your own collection, this hat will keep you warm and stylish throughout the cold months.
