Belle Michelle Cabled Cap

Belle Michelle is named for my daughter-in-law’s mother. She is lovely like her daughter so the name fits. And it rhymes! I am so crafty… So soft & warm, knit with merino, in a tonal or solid color.

Choose a brim to be folded up, or just a tiny bit of
1 x 1 rib. Knitter’s choice. The body is pretty
alternating cables just meant to show off a yarn
with great color and great stitch definition.

Twosizes XSmall/Small and Med/Large. As a very stretchy hat it will fit a large range of heads. If a larger hat is desired, go up a needle size and use a the same or a heavier worsted yarn. If a smaller hat is desired, go down a needle size and use a DK weight yarn. Med/Large shown in photos.
