Cable Beanie: A Cozy Knit Hat Pattern
Discover the joy of crafting your own warm and stylish accessory with our simple Cable Beanie knitting pattern! This pattern features a straightforward cable knit hat design that requires no complicated charts and utilizes just one type of cable throughout. The combination of cables and ribbing works together to ensure a snug fit in the cuff, while alternating cable patterns in the hat’s body help prevent the design from pulling in too tightly. Perfect for both intermediate knitters looking to refine their skills and those eager to create a beautifully textured hat!
Skill Level
This pattern is rated as Intermediate, making it ideal for knitters familiar with working cables and decreasing stitches.
Size Information
The Cable Beanie design fits an Adult size medium, with a circumference of 21 inches (52.5 cm) around and a height of 8 inches (20.5 cm). This makes it a versatile accessory that can effortlessly complement any winter outfit!
Yarn Requirements
For this project, you will need 100 yards (91 meters) of bulky weight yarn. We recommend using a luxurious fiber like the naturally dyed handspun yarn from Midnightsky Fibers for a unique and eco-friendly finish to your beanie.
Essential Materials
To get started on your Cable Beanie, gather the following materials:
- US #10/6mm 16-inch circular needles, or size necessary to achieve gauge
- A set of US #10/6mm double pointed needles, or size to get gauge
- A tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge
Achieve a perfect fit by knitting at a gauge of 3.5 stitches per inch in the hat body pattern (1 inch = 2.5 cm). This will ensure your Cable Beanie has the right dimensions and maintains its cozy shape.
