Tell me, is there anything cozier than a generously cabled hat? I certainly can’t think of anything. This all-over cabled beauty has the addition of tiny polkadot like bobbles interspersed between the staggered ribbons of 6 stitch rope cables. The bobbles add a nice little bit of extra texture to this classic beanie but are easily omitted and worked as a purl stitch if you aren’t the bobble type.

Size
One size fits most - finished hat is approx 19” around and 8.25” tall from cuff to crown un-stretched.

160 yds of worsted weight yarn. Sample shown in TFA PureWash Worsted in Garnet (113g = 205 yds).

1 pattern repeat (28 sts by 8 rounds) = 4.5“ wide and 1.5” tall on larger needles after blocking. This roughly equals a stockinette stitch gauge of 18 sts and 24 rounds = 4”
