KNIT CABLE & BRAIDED BEANIES | FREE PATTERN & VIDEO TUTORIAL

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! I spend most of my time on there and would love to share your creations so that others can be inspired by you! It's the best place to keep in touch, and I post a lot more, so please please follow me there! 💗

Since I already made a video tutorial on the cable bonnet (which is the same as the cream beanie pictured) I made a video tutorial on how to knit the braided beanie. Both Beanies are FREE and I'm also making my .PDF Pattern free as well, so click here to download the written pattern.

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.

You can also purchase one of my hats that I handmade here! or email me for a custom order.
