The Twisted Cable Beanie Pattern features a fun twisted crochet cable! Welcome to week five of the Wonderful Hats Crochet Along!

If you missed last week, don’t worry! These hat patterns will remain on my blog and in my Etsy and Ravelry shops, so there is lots of time to catch up!

If you have not heard of the Wonderful Hats Crochet along yet, I invite you to take a quick browse through this introduction post: Hats, hats, Wonderful Hats! Free Crochet Along.

Last week’s hat, the Braided Cable Slouch Hat, can be found here: Braided Cable Slouch Hat Pattern

This is week five of the Wonderful Hats Crochet Along.  Today we will learn how to make the Twisted Cable Beanie.

This post contains affiliate links.  This means that when you make a purchase through one, I will receive a small commission at no additional cost to yourself.  Thank you for supporting Rich Textures Crochet!

Materials:

For this crochet beanie, I will be using one and a half balls of the Patons Canadiana Yarn by Yarnspirations.  The colour I am using in the video tutorial below is the Oatmeal.  I will be pairing it with a 5 mm crochet hook.  For those curious about the hook that I show in my video today, it is a Furl’s Streamline hook in Ebony.

The Design:

The design used in the cable beanie today is a twisted crochet cable stitch.  It is worked using a combination of double crochet, front post double crochet and extended front post double crochet stitches.  Cables can be intimidating at first, but I encourage your to try it!  This pattern for the bulk of it is a two row repeat.  SO, once you get the hang of it, you are well on your way! The video tutorial below will provide a few extra tips for you.

From the Bottom up:

Like the other hat patterns in this crochet along, it is worked from the bottom (starting at the Brim) up.  You can add a pompom to the top, or leave it without, both options look great!

The Construction:

The brim of the hat is worked in rows.  In my design I use a series of slip stitches worked in the back loops only, however, if you are not a fan of slip stitches (as I know many are!), then you may substitute the slip stitches for single or even half double crochet stitches.

The size of this hat can be adjusted by changing the multiple of the first round of half double crochet stitches.  To adjust the size just start with a multiple of 5 half double crochet stitches in that first round.

PDF Copies are available:

I will write out the pattern in full below and will follow it with a free video tutorial.  But for those of you who wish, you may also find a PDF copy of the pattern available for purchase in my Etsy and Ravelry Shops linked below:
