Note: this beanie design is also included in False Cable Beanie Collection together with my top selling Sweet Illusion Beanie at a discounted price! Both designs feature a beautiful braided texture similar to cables but they are not knitted with a cable needle.

The pattern is for multiple yarn weights, from DK to super bulky and comes with a video tutorial showing some steps of the instructions. In addition, for super bulky yarn there are instructions for two versions: the main version and an alternative version.

Skill level: intermediate
