Written instructions without charts make this pattern easy to follow and a joy to knit. Simple cables make this hat adorable for boys or girls. Knit it in your favorite color, or mix and match the brim and hat color to customize your baby’s beanie.

If you don’t have a size 5 cable needle, a DPN works great too.

One skein should work for every size if you knit a solid beanie but you can easily mix partial skeins for a stash buster of a project.
