You don’t have to be an expert knitter to make this fun cable beanie with Celtic-style braids! Worked in the round on circular needles, pattern includes instructions for four sizes (infant, child, teen/adult, large adult) and with a choice of single or folded brims. Using knit, purl, left and right purl crosses, and front and back cable stitches, this beanie requires some concentration but is so worth the effort. Charts, tables, video links and written instructions are included and provide clarity and an easy-to-use format. Pattern is written in US terms.

Beanie looks great with or without a pompom because of the careful detail in the crown, making it a perfect gender-neutral hat. The final result is a classic, modern take on traditional cables, creating an intricate hat that will appeal to just about everyone! It makes the perfect gift, but don’t forget to make one for yourself too!
