Crochet this beautiful Chunky Cable Beanie! This Crochet hat features cables that mimic knit cables. If you have never tried crochet cables before, don’t worry I have a step by step video tutorial you can watch, and master your first cable!
Crochet Cables are one of my favorite things to create! I love the look and style of them, and can’t wait to share more chunky cable patterns with you!
If beanies are not your style, and you prefer headbands, be sure to check out the Chunky Cable Headband pattern!

Crochet cables can be a bit tricky to get the hang of, but don’t let that scare you away from trying them out!

Notes
This beanie is worked from the bottom up.
The Brim is worked flat in rows.
The Body is worked in the round.
This Pattern is written for adult size heads. Fits 20-22 inches.
If your hat is too small try going up to a 4.5 or 5mm crochet hook.
Crochet Cables are not very stretchy so this beanie will be a snug-fitted style beanie.
