The Tunisian Cable Hat is part of a 4 piece Tunisian Cable collection, which also includes a headband, scarf and fingerless gloves.

Although the pattern is written for one sizes, 60cm around and 20cm tall, it has plenty of stretch in it. Additionally there are notes for adjusting the hat size too, to make it more slouchy and increase or decrease the hat size around.

The pattern contains a photo tutorial for working Tunisian cables so if this is something you have never tried before, don’t let that put you off, you will be able to work it with the tutorial. As long as you know the Knit and Purl stitches you will be able to work this pattern.

I made mine using 2 strands of Aran/worsted cakes to give a chunky feel. Mine are 20% wool which gives a little more stretch than 100% acrylic, but either should work well. You can either use a chunky yarn or 2 strands of aran like I did. The pattern uses an 8mm Tunisian crochet hook.
