☾ Knitters, this cable is calling your name

I love the look of a basic cable on pretty much anything. After creating my crochet earwarmer, I wanted to design a knit version to match.

It’s a quick, cozy knit with one bold cable running around the band. Finish it with a little leather tag for that boutique look.

✨ What makes it work

• A classic cable. One clean cable stands out against the band.
• A matching pair. It mimics my crochet earwarmer, so knitters and crocheters can twin.
• Stretchy fit. The band stretches to fit most adult heads.
• Custom finish. See how I made my tag in Laser Engraver For Crafts.

• Yarn: Whims Merino, Furls (DK weight 3), 120 yds (110 m). Color shown: Light Grey.
