Crochet Cable Hat Free Pattern
This crochet cable hat for women uses the EASIEST CROCHET CABLE STITCH EVER! This is the same cable stitch used in the coordinating Crochet Cable Scarf shown at the bottom of this post.
Crochet Cable Hat
This design and pattern is quite different from other crochet cable hats. Most cable hats work the cables in a vertical pattern. This design uses just one band of cables worked around the bottom, forehead area. This allows the cables to be front and center and becomes the focal point of the hat.
The body of the hat is understated, but super textured, single crochets worked in the back loops. This creates interest without taking away from the cable band.
Adding a fur pom pom is the icing on the cable cake!
Crochet Cable Hat Video Tutorial
As always, I provide a video tutorial for your convenience and ease in creating this crochet hat. Most of my designs, patterns and videos are provided FREE TO YOU. You’re welcome. LOL! I only ask that you watch the video on YouTube (there is a little button at the bottom of the video below you can click); watch it all the way, or as much of it as possible; give a thumbs up and comment if you are so inclined. (Please be inclined. LOL again.)
