Here’s the bulky-yarn version of the Maren Cabled Beanie, which was knit in a worsted-weight yarn (pattern sold separately). Both feature the wide, ribbed cable cuff and beautiful cable panels.

This hat is knit from the bottom up in the round, starting with a lovely, textured ribbed cable for the wide cuff. The hat then continues with five cable panels, including the addition of an open, more ornate cable. Decreases at the crown create a nice rounded shape at the top while tapering off the open cable design.

The Maren Bulky knits up quickly with about 170 yards of bulky-weight yarn on size 10 ½ needles, making it a great stash-busting one or two-ball gift knit! This design can easily be knit up in two colors, greatly upping your stash-busting options. Or knit it in your gift recipient’s favorite team colors!

Cables are charted and written out.
