Winter Cable Knit Beanie

November 14, 2016 4 Comments

Knit an adorable cable knit beanie for winter with this free pattern that comes in adult and children's sizes.
Who doesn’t love a good hat? Or a good bit of cabling? (I know, some people love looking at cabling more than actually knitting cables, which I understand. They’re just so pretty!) This new free pattern is one I designed for AllFreeKnitting, and I love it. It comes in adult and children’s sizes & features a video tutorial to help you get the hang of working through this pattern. Plus, the added touch of finishing with a two-color pom pom is cute!

Winter Cable Knit Beanie

Gauge: 4 stitches/inch knit in stockinette
Sizes: Children’s size is approx. 20 inches in circumference and 7.25 inches tall. The adult size is 22 inches around and 8.25 inches tall. To knit sizes not listed in the pattern, simply cast on a multiple of 8 stitches more or less. Your stitch count will alter accordingly.

Supplies
US size 9 double pointed or circular knitting needles (depending on your preference)
medium/worsted weight yarn (I used Stitch Nation Full O‘Sheep.)
Cable Needle
Yarn
Scissors
Tapestry needle or crochet hook for weaving in ends
pom pom maker (optional)

Abbreviations
CO – cast on
X(Y) – X indicates the number of sts for the child size, and Y indicates the number of sts needed for the adult size. If X(Y) sts are listed after a period in a given round, they indicate the number of sts that will be in that round once it has been worked.
sts – sts
rnd – round
pm – place marker
p – purl
k – knit
sl – slip
m – marker
rpt – repeat
ssk – slip 1 st as if to k, slip 1 as if to p, k 2 sts together
k2tog – k 2 sts together as one

The Pattern: Get the pattern here / check out the video below for tips & tricks for success!

The added bonus of watching this video is that you can see how I wrangle five double pointed needles (and a cable needle) to knit in the round old school style! (I learned to knit from my grandma and some old knitting books, so I’ll always love some good DPN action.) You can also knit this hat on the appropriately-sized circular knitting needle for your head size, or you can use a long circular needle for knitting in the round magic loop style.

Instagram post 18043011205209234 Happy weekend, everyone! There are several new faces today, so to you, I say welcome! 😊 I’m Heidi, the knitting, crochet and yarn crafts designer behind Hands Occupied. I’m based in Chicago, where I work out of a small studio space, the Hands Occupied Studio. Every week I host an open Craft Night and on the last Sunday of the month we have a Crafternoon. They’re all free and open to anyone who wants to hang out and craft with others (snacks are always welcome!). .
.

A little about me: I’m a knit and crochet pattern designer, but I’m really about all things string, from crochet to macramé. Lately I’ve been particularly obsessed with contemporary latch hook and punch needle trends. However, in my recent handmade wardrobe projects I’ve been drawn to everything vintage. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Funny how that works! 😆.
.

In addition to the blog, design work, and the Studio, I co-host the Very @seriouscrafts Podcast, a top 10-ranked crafts podcast heading into our third season in 2020! 🎙 That about covers it - thanks so much for indulging a long caption 🙏🏼 , and I’m so glad to have you here! ☺️❤️💛💙 #handsoccupied #veryseriouscrafts
Instagram post 17855857273660569 Have you downloaded this new charity knitting pattern? The Triangle Rib Baby Hat knits up quick and is perfect to squeeze in between making holiday gifts! Visit the link in bio to get your hands on this free charity knitting pattern for babies to start stitching for a cause. ❤️❤️❤️
Instagram post 17845581628824699 Today on the blog, we’re talking about how to use the @knitcompanion app specifically in garment knitting. With new advanced note-taking features that let you write by hand, directly on your digital pattern page, the newest version of knitCompanion is definitely worth a try! The full review is linked in bio. #ad

.

Seems like a good excuse to let y’all know that the #handsoccupiedstudio schedule for Craft Nights and Crafternoons has been updated through 1/8! .
.

Head to the link in bio to update your calendars- Christmas & New Years Days both land on Wednesday this year, so there will not be Craft Night those days, but we WILL have Crafternoon on 12/29 from noon to 4 as usual. I imagine it’ll be a great time to detox from family time. Not that anyone will need it by the 29th... 🎄😜
