Fernando is a slightly slouchy hat knit with right and left leaning cable stitches that form a lattice-like affect. Nothing complicated or taxing … there are 3 rounds of plain stockinette for every 1 round of cable stitches.

The pattern provides a link to a helpful video tutorial demonstrating how to knit cables without using a cable needle.

Also for fun, there’s a link to the song Fernando, performed by Abba. Hum along as you knit your project. Then you’ll have the song stuck in your head, too.
