The horseshoe cable hat depicts one wide cable that is comprised of two cables, one left leaning cable and one right leaning cable. Placing both cables next to each other creates a wider cable. The design adds a special touch with a button band around the forehead.

A great introductory pattern to cables. One side cable introduces you to left and right leaning cables to create a gorgeous wide cable. The hat is mainly worked in stockinette with a side cable that will allow you to practice the cabling technique.
