If you’re eager to try cable knitting for one of your first projects, this is a great place to begin. Cables might seem tricky at first, but they get easier as you go. This pattern has a six-stitch twist, a classic cable that’s simple to learn.
You’ll see how easy cable knitting can be with this hat! The twist happens in just one row where you change the stitch order a bit—that’s all! The other rows are just basic knit and purl stitches, things you might already know. You’ll also learn how to decrease in a cable, a neat skill many cable knit hats use to shape the top.
*Pattern Update 2025: I updated this pattern completely in February 2025. If you’ve got the old version or followed the earlier tutorial, no worries—it’ll still turn out great. The new design makes the hat fit and look even better, with a few smart changes. I added two needle sizes, which means the stitch counts are a little different now.
