I love cables, they look strong, dependable but can also delicate, pretty and feminine. It doesn’t matter if it is a simple 2 stitch cable like on this beanie or 30 stitches, I find knitting cables relaxing and yes I know that’s odd

This beanie was inspired by my love of cables and trees, there is nothing more relaxing that a tree. Like cables they can be strong, dependable, but delicate.

This beanie is quick to knit beanie suitable for everyone, and would make an amazing gift.

This lovely 12 stitch repeat was a joy to knit, and the crown unexpected. The brim of the pattern extends all the way to the crown and I love how it turned out.

This beanie is all about strength, softness and joy. It comes in 4 sizes and is great for gift knitting.

I hope you enjoy making it as much as I have.
