Aran Cap — Cable Hat Worked in the Round
This pattern is an absolute must-have to fill the space when we need instant gratification with the extra satisfaction that comes with knitting an impressive-looking cable. Even the most seasoned knitters will be surprised when they hold up this project and say “I knit this myself”.
This hat has only a single layer of rib, and the body of the hat is worked in a large gauge, so the fabric works up very quickly. Aran Cap is worked in the round from the bottom up in a cable pattern. The crown is worked with evenly-distributed decreases. Cable Pattern is given in text and chart.
