Basic Cable Knit Beanie Pattern

This is the 1st knitted pattern that I have published in awhile! It’s been over a year since my last knit pattern was released. Apparently I need to knit more! But, I have been in a knitting mood here lately, so, I decided to design this Basic Cable Knit Beanie Pattern.

My last knit pattern that I published was my Autumn Shawl. I love all the colors in this piece!

I chose to use a #4 worsted weight yarn for this beanie, so it’s not too thick or too thin. It’s just the perfect thickness. I also think it would look good topped with a pom pom!

The details are beautiful! I love how the top closes just perfectly!

I chose to use Knit Picks Brava Tweed yarn in the color Rosefinch. It was absolutely perfect for this beanie!

If you have never knitted cables, don’t be intimidated by them. They really are easier than they look!
