Are you one of those confident knitters who tackles new techniques with ease, but admits to being afraid of cables? This hat was designed with you in mind – it is a great introduction to cables. There are not too many of them, so there will be plenty of relaxing knitting to enjoy.

This versatile hat features a braided cable and a cozy warm garter stitch background. Perfect for a quick present or an instant gratification project, this hat uses one skein of bulky yarn and works up in a jiffy on size 10.5 needles.

Dedicated to my friend K who is “afraid of cables”.
