This is the video I have been working hard to bring you! It’s packed full of information, explanation and technique!
NOTE: If you are a tight crocheter, the hat in the video will be too small if you are trying to make a petite adult hat...If this is the case, I recommend going up a size or two on your hook. (Also, below is the link for the written pattern if you need it.)
This video tutorial series is in 2 parts. Part 2 shows how to make the pompom that I have pictured on the hat in the thumbnail. I hope that you will stick around to make the hat and then the pompom!

Also, I forgot to mention that I follow a lot of different people and the way you explain take the time on the video is amazing. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much Corinne! I’m glad the videos help. That’s is why I started the channel. I want to help new crocheters feel comfortable but also resonate with seasoned crocheters. I really appreciate your comment. 🥰
This was a fantastic tutorial!! I had been doing the cable with the triple crochet and i just made a hat using your instructions for the double crochet. Also, decrease the way you did is amazing and the hat is perfection. Thank you so much for taking the time and your excellent teaching skills. I hope to see more of your videos.
Sue Gloeckle Thank you so much, Sue!! It does my heart good when I’ve helped someone make something useful and beautiful! Your comment was the highlight of my day. Have a great one, and enjoy that hat!!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! The pattern was very easy to follow, I love how you joined each row so the seam is almost invisible, and I love how the decreases blend with the pattern. You did an excellent job teaching and my hat turned out beautiful!
Susan Mahaney Wow, Susan!! Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial and that you were able to get a great hat out of it! I do love this hat so much and have 3 of my own!! LOL. If you ever need a larger version, the notes for that are in the description. Again, thank you! Your wonderful comments mean the world to me! I love to teach, and this platform has given me that opportunity! Please share this tutorial with others, so they too can make this hat! Have a great day!

I just found this video and I am so happy! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us and patiently teaching so we can watch and create it together. I immediately went and bought yarn and made 2! I’m going to try to tackle a matching scarf next.
That is so wonderful to hear!! You are more than welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and made this hat!
I do have a matching scarf tutorial for you if you’d like it. It goes with the hat. Here is the link!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your instructions are so clear and precise, you show and emphasize the exact space to place the hook and and at the perfect speed for a beginner to intermediate. Your work is beautiful!
Thank you very much Margie. I sincerely appreciate that! So glad you liked the tutorial, and I hope you make many more of these hats in the future. 😇
you are amazing….the way that you explain every detail and show it on the video,is not comparable with other tutorials. I made the hat for my 9 year old niece .made less cables to fit perfectly and then began decreasing.it turned out great.now I want to start cables pattern scarf for myself.thank u so so much…🙂🫶🙏🏻
Wow!! That’s awesome, thank you!! I’m so glad you had no issues with the tutorial, and that you got the hat made!! I’m so happy for you! If you need a scarf, I do have a tutorial for one as well. Here’s the link incase you can use it! I made it to match the hat.
Have a great day!!

Wow! What a beautiful EASY pattern! I have some yarn I've been holding on to! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Ever Mateo Thank you so much! If you have any issues with sizing, let me know. This was made as an adult size, but am going to put other dimensions in the description for those that need a larger size.😇

I love your tutorial and I agree that you sound just like Ellen! You went slow enough that I could follow along easily...thank you . My hat turned out beautifully!
Zinda Harper Excellent!! Thank you so much! Glad your hat is to your liking. Just so you know, there is a small pattern in the description of this video for a larger hat should you need it. ☺️ Enjoy!!!

Thank you for sharing. After several attempts I finally got it. My 7 yr old daughter is so thrilled. Made a hat during lockdown.😊😊😊😊 stay safe & hey I have subscribed. Thank you so much
Well thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed this project and was able to make it during this time. ☺️ Enjoy!
Great!
I used wool yarn and made it with 50 initial stitches (for a small headed person) and it turned out superb!
Thank you!
That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing! I appreciate such a wonderful comment. Have a terrific day and Happy Thanksgiving!
Loved your tutorial. Can't wait to do this hat with you the next time I watch it. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! If by chance you don’t have the pattern for this, there is another hat I have available that is basically the same, but in a larger size. It’s the last video I posted on the channel. If the other one isn’t big enough, the red one will be.
Good evening, I like the way you take your time showing your viewers , the boarders of the hat before starting the next phase, by closing each end and securing it by crocheting a chain going all the way around the hat and changing needles sizes. I am learning a lot from your tutorial. The Bronx New York Stay Coronavirus Free.
Thank
You for your very kind comment. I created this channel to help those that struggle with crocheting and knitting, so I’m glad that these videos are helping!!
Been MIA for the summer, but coming back for Fall, Winter and Spring!!
Thanks again!! Have a wonderful day!!
Both the pattern and the tutorial are brilliant! Thank you so much :) this is my first cable pattern and it came out amazing thanks to you!
Wow!!! I’m honored!! Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you got so much from this video. There’s also a scarf tutorial on my channel that matches the hat exactly if you are looking for another cable tutorial.
Thanks so much for such a wonderful comment!! Happy crocheting. 😇
Cute hat🤎🤎. Very easy to follow. I like to watch a video before I follow their instructions to make sure I understand and can complete the project…great video. When I get yarn I will be making a couple of these hats as Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing🙏🏻
That’s awesome! I’m so glad you like this little hat! This hat is more for sizes child too petite adult. If you find yourself needing a bit of a larger size for this hat (average to large adults), I have another video here: ruclips.net/video/I58sizpcxHo/видео.html
I also have a written pattern available on Etsy for a small fee should you want written instructions for any reason. That link will be in the videos for you.
Happy crocheting, and thank you for watching!
Amanda
Thank you so much! I enjoyed this hat pattern and it turned out so pretty as I used white yarn and planning to use a fur pom pom with some sparkles on the brim. I hope to make several in different colors for Christmas gifts. I have two granddaughters who live in Colorado and they will be happy to have one.👏👏😊
Oh you are so welcome! Thank you for the wonderful comment!
I’m sure your granddaughters will love having something made by grandma. I’m honored that you chose my pattern. 😇 Happy Holidays!
I had no problem following. Great pattern, I’ve made 2 cable hats now. Thanks so much for sharing your talent 😊
Robert DeLaplante Awe! Thank you very much! If you need a bigger size, there are some instructions in the description.. next video will teach how to make the scarf to match this hat!
Fiber Theory a tutorial for a scarf will be awesome...thanks so much. I hope you keep doing these lessons.

I’m so glad I came across this tutorial!! I was trying to figure out how many stitches to begin after the rim/band was completed. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
I’m glad you came across it too! Thanks for watching. I hope the tutorial was easy to follow and made sense. If you need a larger hat, I have another video where this hat has been revised and updated. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Blessings.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial and pattern. I am an intermediate crocheter and found your tutorial very easy to follow and love the pattern. Thanks for sharing.
Tracy O'Connor Awe! Thank you Tracy! There’s another cable hat tutorial going up tomorrow..if you’re interested! I appreciate the sweet comment. ☺️
@@FiberTheory You're welcome, Amanda. That's great, I will look for it.

Love how you explain and show what you are doing. Very clear. Great teacher. ❤
Awe thank you!! I’m so glad you liked the video! I hope you make a bunch of these hats!!
I was pretty intimidated by crocheting cables. But you made it super easy. Love how my hat turned out!!
Oh thank you!!! I’m so glad this video helped you! If you want another hat like this in a bigger size, I have another video on this same hat, but in red. Have a wonderful day, and thank you for such a nice comment!
Thank you a million. It came out fantastic! I added 3-4 different sizes of pom pom. Wish I could send you a picture here. Thanks again, you are amazing!!!
Oh that’s wonderful !! So glad to hear that! You can send any pics you’d like to share at fibertheory@yahoo.com. I’d love to see your creation!!
Have a wonderful evening! Congrats on a job well done!
Hello! Your voice totally reminds me of Ellen Degenerous! I'm loving this, picturing Ellen behind the camera, teaching me, personally, of coarse, how to work up this lovely hat!! Made my day!
Thank you kindly for sharing!
Be blessed
LOL. Oh goodness. I’ve been told that a lot, but only in this video, never in any of my other ones. ☺️ Either way, glad I could make your day! LOL
I thought too!
Very nice pattern. Just finished my hat.. didn't think I could make a cable hat. Very easy. Thanks
Rachel Carter Excellent to heat, Rachel!! So glad it worked out for you!! If ever you need a larger hat of this style, check out the directions because there is a make-shift pattern in there on how to change the pattern just a little. Another tip.. if you need a larger size but don’t want to follow a pattern.. use a hook one size larger than the video calls for. Anyway, enjoy!! May you get many months of cozy hat wearing this winter!!

Brilliant video this is the first hat I was able to make thank you so much and your voice helps to follow your pattern
That is amazing! Thank you so much!
Ohhh y goodness.. I’ve just completed my 1st Cable beanie ☺️. Thankyou so very much xxx
Wow!! That’s so awesome!! Good for you! I’m glad you were able to get it done. It’s a very satisfying feeling. ☺️
This is so exciting for me I have never crocheted cable before and I have crochet for many years thank you
Oh excellent!! I’m really glad the video was understandable. Some viewers have had a problem with it, so I made another one... that one has the red hat in the thumbnail. Enjoy making cables!! They are just too much fun!
Am making this now and totally enjoying it. First time crocheting cables :) thanks so much for this tutorial.
That’s wonderful to hear! I’m glad you’re enjoying making cables!! Beware, they’re addicting! LOL.
@@FiberTheory True haha i am altrady thinking of using cables in a cowl :)
I LOVE this one!! Again, your tutorials are the best I've seen. I'm working on things for 2 babies... not born yet, lol I have to look at more of your videos!! You're awesome!! 🌹🌹
Thank you so much!! I apologize ahead of time for any videos with darker yarn that is hard to see. I do have another hat that has a baby size for it, but the baby size in one of my written patterns. It’s much more advanced than just this one, but everyone seems to enjoy it so far. ☺️
Actually, I thought you were talking about the little pink hat from the last message. One of these cable hats, I do believe has a baby size, but I can’t remember right now. There’s also another hat that I have that might have the baby size in it. I’ll have to look through and show you which one I’m talking about.
@@FiberTheory No reason to apologize at all. I can see everything fine. Not a problem here. I am working on the pink one, the single chrocet. I didn't mean to confuse you. 🙄🌹🌹🌹
@@FiberTheory - Thank you so much. Had a gender reveal about an hour ago, so I'm making 2 of the pink ones. One for my 1st Grandchild. My daughter is having a girl, and a close friend just learned hers is a boy. Fun, fun, fun! ,😉🌹😉🌹
Wonderful pattern. Really well explained, thankyou Amanda.
Awesome!! So glad you liked the tutorial!! I hope you really enjoy the hat!!
This hat is great! I did it with velvet! really loved the tutorial, but really had a hard time with the starting stiches after the crown was ready (starting at 11:30 because the video was cutting after every stich)! But i did it and love it! keep up the great work!
Thank you. Sorry about that. I used to be really bad at editing. That’s an old video. I have a newer one on the channel for the same hat, just a little bigger… here’s the link.
ruclips.net/video/I58sizpcxHo/видео.html
Lovely pattern and great, easy to follow video. Thank you. At 30:04 you say what to do in next two rows (fp in fp and bp in bp) but not what next. It would be most helpful to give a time reference in the tutorial to go back to if viewers haven't yet got the order of rows in their memory. Thanks so much
Funny that you mention this. I am actually going to be doing an updated version of this hat, which has a better design and is a bit easier to follow, in my next tutorial video. When I made the video above, I had a horrible set up and terrible lighting. After making many new videos and getting a new set up, I am better equipped to redo this tutorial. The hat above also has a written pattern of you need it to get a better idea of what to do in each row. The link is in the video description. Sorry for the confusion. I hope you’ll come back and check out the new and improved tutorial!!
Fiber Theory I definitely will be back. I like the way you clearly show where to put the hook. Thank you.
Super clearly explanation! Thank you for your video! Very beautiful winter hat! Thank you once more and happy New Year! God bless you.
Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Excellent tutorial. Your directions are very well explained,
Frannie Phelps Thank you so much! There have been those that have had issues following along, but I am so happy that most can follow along. Your words are very encouraging! Blessings!

brilliant tutorial Im knew to crochet but have bought this pattern and followed the video along. I have now made every one a hat for Christmas. Thank you. It would be great if you had a matching mitten video or fingerless gloves tutorial?!
Hi! Thanks for the wonderful comment!! Wow! I’m sorry, I don’t have a mitten or glove tutorial for this, but there is a matching scarf tutorial if you’re interested. 😇
Here is the link for it.

Thank you so much for your tutorial, you do explains it so clear and make it so easy to follow.. I love the cable pattern and I made my hat, it’s probably the best hat I’ve ever crochet so far. Fits Lovely.... Again Many Thanks.. Really Appreciate it.. you have a new follower.. 😘🥰😘
Awe! Thank you so much for this beautiful comment! You are more than welcome! I so over the moon that this tutorial helped you make this hat. Wear it in health! Happy New Year!!
@@FiberTheory Thank you very much 😊 And a Happy New Year to you and your Family too 🥰💖🥰
I just completed my first hat using this video, it is too small for me but that’s okay. I am looking to make a larger one for adults and one for toddler. Thank you for the video it was very helpful! I will be checking out more of your videos for other projects.
Hey Jazmine! This hat is written so you can change the size of the hooks to make it using the the same pattern. If it’s too small, just go up a size hook for the brim and up a size hook for the body. It should just even it out for you. Hope this helps!
Fiber Theory okay, I will try that. Thank you. I didn’t know if I needed to do more along the brim to make it longer, and then try to figure out how to count the stitches for starting the next step. I appreciate your help! Should I use bulkier yarn if I increase the hook size or does it not matter?
Nope. Just stick to the size 4 weight and you’ll be good! I do this kind of thing all the time, especially making hats for my grandsons. They are a year apart in age, but their sizes are off by just enough . I just change hook sizes if I need to for the oldest, since he’s a bit bigger, and it works like a charm. You got this!!
I always connect the brim with slip stitches through both loops, and then turn the work over. That way the seam looks exactly like the other rims, can't even tell there is a seam.
Great tip! Thank you!
Love this! Just made me and my baby matching hats! It turned out so great! The only thing is that next time I will use a lighter yarn so it is easier to see haha. I used a navy blue and could barely see some of the stitches!
Alison, I am so glad you enjoyed this project and that you were able to get the pattern to work for both you and your little one! Did you use the larger size directions in the description of this video, or did you make the one in the video? And yes, I would agree with you that we will need at least half a skein of yarn for this hat. I always start out my actual projects with a full skein if I can to how the difference in the size of the skein once the hat is made. Next video will be showing how to make the scarf to go with this hat! Just gotta get over this cough from being sick back in December! Have a great day!!
@@FiberTheory I made it just a tiny bit bigger so my husband and I could share a hat. (he has a big head haha). I believe I did 70 double crochet around the brim and just went from there. What worked for me was doing a multiple of 6 minus 2 to figure out how to make everything even. But it is perfect! I can roll it up to make it a little smaller for me, and my husband can keep it down if he wants to use it as well. I used a thick yarn so it is nice and warm.
Allison Marie Nice? If you ever need a bigger size, there are directions on how to do it in the description below the video. 😇

This hat is very pretty. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
Oh thank you!!! That’s awesome!! So glad you enjoyed it!
thank you for the easy way of learning to make the cable hat,of all the sites I want on youtube you are the best.
barbara symes Thank you so much for the sweet comment, Barbara! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I do love teaching crochet and am sure glad you were able to get so much from this tutorial. Take care!
@@FiberTheory You are so welcome,hope to see more of your teaching videos
can men wear this hat or is this made only for woman?
barbara symes This hat is unisex. For a man, I would go up a size on the hook, and maybe do the hat in brown, red, black, dark green or blue. I would also leave the pompom off. But yes. This hat should work fine for men.

This is my first hat and your video is so detailed that I am able to follow along so well. Thank you. I do have a question though. I’m in the middle of making this hat and my 4 front post cables aren’t twisting as I go up like yours. The four post, once they got flat, stayed flat as they extend up. And yes I am doing the two post stitches currently in the back. Not sure what could be going wrong
Hi!! Well thank you so much for that! I appreciate that feedback! I’m glad you’re able to follow along!
Unfortunately, unless I can see you make the cable, I won’t be able to tell you how to change it or what could be happening. If you’re doing as the video shows, it should be exact. There is a point where there’s a place in the cable that does flatten and become straight right before the next cable twist is made.. I’m not sure if that’s what you’re referring to though.
Try this video and see if it helps at all. It’s a remake of my original and is a better fit for adults. The other is really better for people with smaller heads (roughly around ages 5-12). Also, this video might be better on explanation.
I hope you can fix it. If you can send me a short video of you making the cable, you can send it to fibertheory@yahoo.com. I’ll be able to see it that way l, and maybe I can help.
Here’s the other video.
ruclips.net/video/I58sizpcxHo/видео.htmlsi=gz4oHMiZ6I8Pex6n
I love this hat!! I am on my 3rd cable row and I’ve noticed that the crisscross of my cables are not looking as pronounced as yours. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Is there a way to communicate with you and show you what I’ve done so far? Thank you!
Karen Harper Hi!! You can always send me pictures via email at fibertheory@yahoo.com so I can see your project. Thanks for your question!

Did you know you sound like Ellen? Lol. You haven’t posted an update but you should. I usually like to watch the video then make the item from the pattern but I was able to make this from just the video. You’re really good at this and I truly hope you don’t give it up. ❤️
Also my husbands 80 year old, left handed grandmother taught me how to crochet 40 years ago and she taught me this exact way to hold the needle and thread. (I’m right handed) This is the first time I’ve seen anyone do it the same way on RUclips.
Vickie Keeton oh wow!! Thank you Vickie! I appreciate your message very much. I will be doing updates as well. I have done a couple of updates so far, but haven’t gotten much feedback from them. I’d love to do monthly lives, but the last live I did, only reached one person. I won’t give up on this, I promise. Much of my time right now is taken up with work outside the home, so getting videos made has been hard. The plan is to have many more projects for you guys to follow, and hopefully I’ll be getting some patterns written up and available for sale online. Glad you were able to follow the video though!! That’s awesome! And yes, I have been told I sound like Ellen, a few times on here, but I don’t hear it. LOL. And yes, my grandma taught me to crochet this way as well. I hold the hook a couple different ways in different videos to give my hands a break from only one way. One day, when I finally learn how to use my new editing software, I will be making left handed videos as well.
Have a wonderful day!!!

Very unique stitch, beautiful nonetheless. 😍 Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! Once I learned how to cable in crochet, I was hooked and had to share it with everyone. 😇
Thank you for the pattern, I crochet one for a baby. Very beautiful pattern ❤
Oh awesome! So glad you enjoyed it!!
I love this so much. Looks daunting but I'll try it.
You can do it!!

Have an awesome day! Oh... and if the hat turns out too small, you can go up a size on the hook, or you can follow the larger instructions in the video. Happy crocheting!!

Looks great. My question for you is that do you measure it around the wearer's head and then can you amend the number of back post single crochet so that the hat isn't too big or too small?
Hi Dani! I have a written pattern for this hat as well if you fell that you would benefit from it. The iCard at the beginning of the video is the link to the pattern in my Etsy store. I also have a bigger version with a pattern in my shop. Here are the links if you need them.
Otherwise, the pattern is made in a multiple of 6’s.. Those stitches are comprised of 4 for the cable and 2 bpdc’s. You would add or leave out what you needed. But yes, if measuring is best for you, go for it. 😇

First time doing cables. I have to admit it took five tries in the beginning, but I did it! Thank you! Do you have a scarf tutorial to match the hat?
Marilyn Radiff Good on you for not giving up!!! It can take a little to get these down. It did for me too. Funny you ask about a scarf tutorial for this hat...that’s what the next video will be about! Great minds think alike! I will have that up in about another week or so. I am also, slowly, getting this hat pattern written up to sell in my Etsy store. Anyway, keep an eye out for that video. If you haven’t subscribed, be sure to do so in order to get all the other tutorials coming up! Thanks for making the hat!! I have also included directions for a bit larger size if needed, in the description area. Blessings!

This is amazing. Such an excellent teacher. Thanks so much 👌🙏🏻👍
Wow! Thank you much for that!! I appreciate it more than you know.
Happy Crocheting!!
Beautiful. I want to learn this style... love it...
Kolap Yellow Thank you! I hope you do follow along with this video one day. It’s gotten nothing but great comments on it! It works up beautifully. If you decide that you need a larger hat, there are directions in the description of the video on how to achieve that, or you can do it the easy way, and go up one hook size! Have a blessed day!!

Thank you for the instruction. It was fun to make.
Oh wonderful! So glad you enjoyed this tutorial!! ❤️
Thank you. I did and came out beautiful
That’s amazing to hear!! Thanks for letting me know!
Your voice sounds like Ellen! Love this hat, can’t wait to make it!
Shelby Keen Thank you! Well, that’s the first time I’ve ever heard that I sound like Ellen. LOL. I hope you enjoy the hat! A larger size option is listed and explained in the description, in case you need it. 😇
I came to the comments to see if someone had commented that haha 😂 I also picture Ellen
Jacqueline Ramirez It was the first thing I thought of! 😂
You all are too sweet. I have never been told that I sound like Ellen before... so this is new! 😂
I thought the same thing! I wonder if Ellen crochets? Haha
my granddaughter chose this hat, so I made it for her following your video for adult size, And she loves it and it fits the way she wanted it to... Is there a written pattern? I must confess, I struggled through a bit on the height, added another full cable ....
Eleanor Fetterman That is so wonderful!! Thank you!! I will confess that in 2018, I was quite ill around the time I was designing this hat for RUclips and never got around to writing the pattern. However, I will be getting it written up this year. It’s the reason I typed up the instructions on the video, so those who needed to read it could. I do apologize. Once it’s written up, I will be selling is, as I do all of my other patterns. I appreciate your patience, and thank you for making this little cable hat for your granddaughter! I made them for my grandsons too, and they love them!! 😇
Thank's for the tuitorial🙏👏
My pleasure! If you ever need a larger one with more room around the crown of the head, be sure to see the last video I uploaded.. with the pic of the red cable hat. It’s the same kind, just uses different math. ☺️
Thank you. Very clear! What is the yard of this yarn? I cannot get this brand
Hi Sari! The yard of the I Love This Yarn is 252 yards. There are some other really nice soft yarns out there. Do you have Walmart where you are? If so, they might have a yarn section. I like to buy the Mainstays brand because it is just as soft. Take care!

I appreciate that! Thank you so much!

Hi there. This is one of my earliest videos, before I was good at video making. There is another video for this hat, and I’ll link it below for you. I do also have a written pattern for this hat in my Etsy shop which should be listed in the description of the video or in an iCard in the video.
Here is the other video for this hat.

Hi can I make the brim longer or will affect the rest of the hat, I just need it a bit loner
Hi There! Well, I just put up a new video yesterday that will give you a bigger hat like this. It’s the very top two videos on the channel. The first red hat is the left handed version, the one underneath is for right handed. I think you’ll like it better. It’s for adults.
Very nice design. Thank you.
Laurene Elauria Thank you so much! If you need a larger size, the directions are in the video description. ☺️

Do u use a 5mm crochet hook for the band and 6mm crochet hook for the body? I didn’t get it in the video
Good morning and thank you for your question! I see that you have 2 questions. In the video, I change to a size J for the body. It allows the hat to fit the roundness of the head a bit better. It makes a very comfy hat.
This pattern has been requested quite often and because of that I am working on getting it written. It’s almost finished. When it’s ready, I’ll put the link in the description of the video so that everyone can get it. I might even add an iCard in the beginning of the video with the link as well. ☺️
How many rows to add to to band to make an man’s hat? I love this tutorial and appreciate your contribution! God Bless!!
Vanida Peters Thank you for your question! Since each person’s head is different shapes and sizes, sizing can be tricky. My suggestion is to measure the person’s head (this goes for both men and women) around the crown in inches. Then, make enough rows until you come just one inch under the measurement (if the head circumference is 25”, the band should measure 24”) because there will be stretch. Measuring is always tour best friend.
Vanida Peters I forgot to add that there is a written pattern in the description for a larger band... I forgot that I added that in there for you guys. I hope that helps.

Oh good, glad you enjoyed it!! I hope the hat works good for you! Thank you for watching!
Hi Amanda thank you for the lovely hat pattern. I’ve made this hat before with your tutorial and it came out beautifully. I do believe it fit fine. (it was quite awhile ago.). I was wondering if this might be easier to make 60 rows rather than 58, and need to increase 2 stitches? Would that work out alright? For those that the hat is just a little tight it might give a tiny bit of extra room. Thanks in advance for your response and thank you again for the beautiful pattern.
Hi. Funny you mention it. I have another hat tutorial for a larger version of this exact hat, but made for a little bit larger heads. It’s the video with the red cable hat in the pic. 😇
@@FiberTheory Thank you but I’m not certain I want to make it that much larger because I thought the last time I made this pattern the size was fine. My only question is whether working 60 rows to eliminate the 2 increases to bring the stitch count to 60 would work? Thank you.
You explain this very well thank you.
Thank you! I’m so relieved that it’s easy to understand. 😇
You are very good teacher
I love this hat. THANK YOU
Thank you very much! I appreciate that! Super glad you enjoyed this tutorial! 😇

After fourth cable row, do you have two rows of double crochet or one before you start the next cable row?
Stefani Tucker I’ll need to go back through and watch it and then I’ll let you know. Thanks for your question.
Hi there! I am going around and looking through old comments and found yours! To answer your question.. you will have 2 double crochet rows after the cable row.

Thank you. You clarified a couple of things.
Hi there, I have baby soft yarn but I would like to make a adult hat with it what crochet size hook should I use it's very thin yarn, please help
You could get away with using a size G or H. If it’s Caron, I’d use either.
Great video! I would like to make a bigger hat...can you tell me how many more rows to make above 58? Thank you
Hi there! Actually, I remade this hat to be bigger in one of my other videos.. here’s the link! 😇
ruclips.net/video/I58sizpcxHo/видео.html
@@FiberTheory oh thank you!!!
I don't know if you have the time to answer these two questions, but I hope so. I love the pattern. I have made other cable hats, and enjoy it. My questions are: Would this be a suitable size for a 6 year old? I know the average head circumference for that age is 17-19, I think. Second question, would this work to make a messy bun hat by just stopping the pattern as you get towards the top and leaving a hole? Thank you, are able to answer.
Hi and thank you for your question! So the answer would be yes to both! I have made several of these hats for five-year-olds that I have known over the last several years. A couple of them can still wear these hats and they are both now nine years old. So definitely. If you want this hat for an adult size, I have a different video for that. You can actually go through my videos and you’ll see a thumbnail with a red hat that has cables on it. That’s the one you’d want for the adult size. Anyway thank you again for your comment and for your questions! Happy crocheting!
@@FiberTheory Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time.
could this be finished as a messy bun hat?
Going back through this video and seeing so many comments that I never got notifications for. I am soo sorry for responding so late! You can finish this off as a messy bun hat if you don't weave up the top. Just leave it open. I hope this helps answer the question.
Beautiful thanks. I just finish mine
Awesome!! So glad you were able to follow the video and enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this video. Could you tell me pattern for an adult and teen ?
Hi! Yes! This video will make a hat that fits more of a petite person. I have another video making the same hat that is a little larger, much better for an adult with a head circumference of 22-24cm around. The hat on this video should fit a head more around 18-21cm’s. I hope this answers your question well. Thank you so much for your comments. I do appreciate them so much.

I have one question
Please tell me where when doing the cables does the first one goes?
I did the first round with no problem but like you said it’s hard to see where to do the next stitch. So is it on the first cable that you do? I can’t seem to explain this right lol.. so basically stitch 3 and 4 then the first and second on top?
Oh goodness! Sorry you’re having so much trouble!! So, I’ve gone back into the video to the time stamp 22:23... I think this is the area you are talking about, am I right? Let me know, and I’ll help you with this part. :)
We don't have that yarn in Canada. Is it a number 4 worsted
Good morning from Arizona! Yes. This is a size 4 worsted weight yarn. Thank you for your question!!
Definitely is a perfect, easy gift!
Madison Marie Thank you so very much!! Glad you like the pattern!

hi again! I understand your stitches very well! However I am confused as to the rows...when a cable row occurs, etc. I guess its the pattern I am confused with, not the stitches. help?
Hi. I’m sorry you are having issues. There is a written pattern that goes with this tutorial. It should help keep the rows and all instructions together for you. If you would like it, here is the link for it.
www.etsy.com/listing/744903902/alyssa-crochet-cable-hat?ref=shop_home_active_3
@@FiberTheory just got it...thanks!!
the first row of cable, we worked stitches 3, 4, then 1, 2 for front post double crochet, but then for row 2 it looks like you are working 1, 2, 3, 4 in order.....is that correct?
Yes. The cable is made by skipping the first group of cable posts to work the second group first...and then going back to work the first group. When you work the second row, you are no longer creating a crisscross, or twist to form the cable. So that means that you just work straight across the row making 6 fpdc’s around each cable post from right to left. This starts the building up process of the cables. Eventually you will do another cable row where you make the twists again, and that is what creates the look. Thanks for your question!!
Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that if you are interested in the written pattern for this hat, the pattern will be up and ready to download from my Etsy store tomorrow morning. You can find it here, should you need or want it. www.fibertheory.etsy.com . Blessings!

I'm a little confused on how to continue my cables after you go off camera. I never got the routine down of what you do after you go off camera. Can you please explain? I'm confused of when I should cross over and go to the 3rd/4th stitch and then back to the 1st/2nd
Tiffany K At minute 18:14, the cables are explained in detail. There are also instructions on screen should they be needed. After you skip the first 2 posts, you will works posts 3 and 4 first, then go back to the first post you skipped and then the 2nd. That completes the cross over for the cable. It will be worked this way for every cable row. If you have difficulty with the cable, I suggest going back to minute 18:14 to guide you through it. If you need further assistance, please email me at fibertheory@yahoo.com. We can work out one on one instruction if needed. Thanks for contacting me!
@@FiberTheory thanks so much for trying to explain things to me! I really love your pattern and apologize for not catching on so quickly :-( I really want to finish my hat so I will email you regarding one on one instruction. I believe once I catch on after making the first complete cable, I will be fine. I will send you an email shortly. Thanks again!
Tiffany K sounds good!!
Tiffany K I sent you an email with some instructions...
I agree, ripped mine apart after 6 rows and I'm going to start over. I've watched video 3 times. I'm also an intermediate crocheter.
If I used a size 9mm N hook instead of a J hook how would this effect my pattern?
RiahAriel That’s a really good question, and one I would like to explore. One thing I recommend is, if in doubt, try it out. So, what I would do is try it and see what happens with the stitching. If the spaces between stitches are too big, or if the pattern is too large, bring down the size of the hook to an M or even a K or L. But changing a hook doesn’t mean you can’t follow this video, it just means that the hat will be larger. If you want to make the band with the size hook indicated in the video, but change the size hook for the body, go for it! It’s fun to play around with sizing. ☺️
@@FiberTheory Thanks! I will give it a try and see what happens.

I can't read patterns as I'm a visually learner but I have 60 dc plus a chain but when I do the cable the last one I'm left with 5 stitches and I've redone it and still left with 5 stitches for last cable. I can't see from video where I have gone wrong. The subtitles says an increase of 2 SC in the first stitch to start the SC row so I had a chain of 2 and then 2 SC in next stitch. Was that incorrect as I was following the subtitles as I'm deaf?
Hi. I’m so sorry you’re having difficulty. I wish I could be right there to show you. It would make this so much easier, am I right?! ☺️ In the video, when I’m making the sc row... my chain 2 is considered my first sc of the row. Then I add one more sc into the same space just under the ch 2 so that I have 2 sc’s and my first increase. But, you want to make sure you only have 58 rows in your band, and keep very careful count of how many sc’s you have. You need 60 sc’s exactly. Doesn’t really matter where you make the increases, so long as you have those 2 extra sc’s. Then you make sure to only have 60 dc’s. As long you have that, the math should work out. Maybe we can schedule a tutor session on Messenger video chat, and I can walk you through it. Let me know if this helps, ok? I really want you to get this.☺️👍
@@FiberTheory hi. Yes I have exactly 58 rows and I have 60 SC plus the chain. So technically 61 I did a chain and 2sc in same space so 3 stitches is that where I've gone wrong? Because you do count the chain for the cables part ? whereas you didn't for the band.
Wow beautiful hat Thank you so much

Hey....I. Am using s thinner wool and 30 rows seems abut small for the size I need... Can I increase the border rows and how will that effect the pattern ... Please guide.... Thanks
Hi, and thank you for your question. I'm sorry I'm getting back to you so late. For thinner yarn, you would need to increase the amount in the chain and the amount of rows. If you can, I would measure the head circumference you are making the hat for first. Then, make the rows, measuring the flat panel as you go. You will want the finished product to be about 1" shorter than the circumference of the head, since the yarn will stretch. Then sew up the sides and top. Sew in your loose ends and you've got your hat. I hope this helps. :)
