Soft Serve Cabled Beanie

Squishy, twisting cables, swirl around this tweed beanie, reminiscent of soft-serve ice cream with sprinkles! Easy enough to be a great introduction to cables, this cute hat has style to spare. The generous ribbing folds up to create an extra layer of warmth, and the cables rise straight up to the top of the hat, thanks to the smooth, perfectly vertical ESC stitches between post stitches. The ribbing for this beanie is worked sideways in turned rows and slip-stitched to form a tube. The body of hat is worked in continuous rounds, without joins, from the ribbing to the top of hat in the Soft Serve Cable stitch pattern. You may find it helpful to use a locking stitch marker to note the beginning of the round. Turning chains in the ribbing does not count as a stitch. Choosing hat size: Hat fits best with 0-2” of negative ease at ribbed brim (this means ribbing should be 0 -2” smaller than head measurement). Ribbing circumference is used throughout pattern to distinguish between sizes.
