Plait is a simple beanie pattern featuring a repeated plaited cable design. The hat is worked in the round, bottom up and can be worn with the ribbing section flipped up for a fitted look or down for a slouched style. With an easy to memorize stitch repeat, this is a great introduction to cable knitting for a beginner.
