Plump round cables nestled in horseshoes give an eye-catching twist to the classic cabled beanie. Inspired by tree hollows and old forest, this snug hat is perfect for a walk in the woods on a crisp autumn day.

Due to the nature of the cable pattern, the two sizes are worked on different sized needles.
