A completely free and completely customizable recipe to create a cabled hat based on a design I pioneered based on a fast fashion hat I had in the late 2000s.

No charts, just a walkthrough of suggestions for what I did and how to copy it. There is a cable pattern at the very end if you want to create the hat shown on the cover image.

This is how I knit: I can’t follow a pattern to save my life and I’m just starting to write things down now after 25 years at this, so it’s based on following your intuition and plugging in the design elements you personally want to use. No stitch counts and “free” increases and decreases to get where you need to go.
