PATTERN INFORMATION
Welcome to the Manypeaks Beanie. This
staghorn cabled beanie is a six-row pattern
repeat that is a beginner friendly cable
pattern. Manypeaks is a small town located
close to where I live in the Great Southern
region of Western Australia. The cables in this
design create multiple peaks so I thought it
would be fitting to name it the Manypeaks
Beanie.
The pattern uses only two different cables
that are repeated every subsequent row to
give the staghorn effect. When knitting
cables, it is important to maintain a relaxed
and consistent tension. A tight tension will
result in a beanie that is uncomfortable to
wear. The height of this beanie can be easily
adjusted by increasing or decreasing the
number of repeats.
