This plaited cable beanie is knit flat on straight needles using a hefty, worsted weight yarn (or two lighter weights held together).
 
The cable pattern is created over 9 stitches and 8 rows with a nice wide brim and decrease stitches at the crown.
 
This warm and pretty hat can be completed over a weekend and is a great project over a cup of hot chocolate - RECIPE INCLUDED!
 
Add a fancy pom pom and tag to finish it off for a great gift.
