Inside the Designer’s Mind
The inspiration for Jessie Cable Beanie came from one of my favourite TV series Jessica Jones. During the intro there is a clip of a fence that reminds me of this classic interlocked cable pattern and I thought it would be fun to use this to design a cable beanie that is versatile, easy to wear and can go with many styles. Jessie Cable Beanie has become my go to beanie in the winter because I can wear it with jeans and jacket and also with sportswear. I hope you will enjoy knitting and wearing this classic cable beanie.
