I originally made this hat for my partner, and I liked it so much I ended up knitting another! This is the perfect hat for brisk wintery days. The cables intertwine with each other across the hat, hence the name. It’s a quick knit that can easily be done over a weekend, and only uses one 100g skein of Worsted or Aran yarn.

This hat is one size, designed to fit most adult heads. The length of the ribbing can be altered to fit a range of sizes, and the pattern gives instructions for getting a perfect fit.

Gauge: 18 sts and 27 rows = 10cm x 10cm (4” x 4”) in st st on 4.5 mm needles after blocking
