Overindulge in cables, you know you want to! This beanie is worked from the bottom up. The cables are quite arduous so this is not for a pattern for most beginners. You must be able to read cable charts for this pattern, there are no written chart rows.

Yarn: 175 (200, 250) yards/160 (185, 230) meters of sock weight yarn.
Sample shown in Greenwood Fiberworks Sublime colorway Gold Tonal.

Needles: Size US 3/3.25 mm and US 4/3.5 mm circular needles with a long (40”/100 cm) cable, or size needed to obtain gauge and one size smaller.
