This close-fitting beanie is distinguished by organic cabled forms that flow and interlock in unexpected ways. Ring motifs are created by abrupt increases and decreases. Worked at a snug gauge in Shelter, Naos makes a very warm and eye-catching winter accessory. The pattern is both charted and written, so you can follow the directions according to your preference.

This pattern is part of Olga Buraya-Kefelian’s CAPSULE Collection for Brooklyn Tweed. You can purchase all patterns in this collection as an ebook at brooklyntweed.com.

Photographed in color Sap (small/medium); large not shown

Gauge

24 stitches & 32 rounds = 4” in Cable pattern with Size A needle, after blocking
One 41-stitch wide Cable panel from chart or written instructions measures approximately 6¾“ wide with Size A needle, after blocking
20 stitches & 40 rounds = 4” in 2x2 ribbing with Size B needle, slightly stretched after blocking

Needles

Size A (for Main Fabric)
One 16” circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain cable gauge listed
Suggested Size: 4 mm (US 6)

Size B (for Ribbing)
One 16” circular needle* in size needed to obtain ribbing gauge listed

Size C (optional; for Tubular Cast On only)
One 16” circular needle* two sizes smaller than Size B
Suggested Size: 2¾ mm (US 2)

32” circular needle can be used instead of 16” circular needles and DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round.

Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
