Remember the adorable cable bonnet I made in all sizes?! Well, I decided to make it into a beanie! It turned out so cute and reminded me of these cable bracelets I made forever ago. My favorite bracelet was a braided cable, so I thought I'd give it a try on a beanie and it turned out AWESOME! So, you get 2 patterns in 1 for FREE! With a Video Tutorial!!!! What do I ask in return? I would looove if you were to follow my Instagram: @theiknits 😀please!

NOTES

This hat is knitted in the round, from the bottom-up.
Available in sizes: Adult. 

TO MAKE IN SMALLER SIZES:

For a smaller size, I would suggest using size 5 bulky yarn. Even smaller, decrease your needle size as well as the yarn size.

IF YOU WANT A RIB:

I did not add a ribbing to this beanie, but you totally can! What I would do is knit 5 rounds of your favorite ribbing (I like K1, P1 rib) using the smaller size needles, and then start your cable pattern with the larger size needles throughout the rest of the beanie. Since you're adding 5 rounds at the beginning, I would knit 1 less cable repeat.
