My goodness, for yrs I have been wanting to knit a cable pattern but never found an easy instruction to it. So I was afraid to even try,, for the 1st time ever I have finally understood how it all works 🤭🙏🏼🤗... Thank you so so very much for making it so easy to understand.
I just finished making a brown one !! This was my first time knitting cable and making something in the round but the instructions were so clear it made doing this project easy. Thank you so much!!
Your instructions are probably the most clear and concise instructions that I have ever seen in a youtube video for knitting! Wow, you are very thorough! I appreciate this video, as I have only done blankets and scarfs. I signed up to make 30 hats for my daughters school market next month and your video is amazing! I wish I had stumbled across your video when I first learned a few months back! Edit to add: her school market is for the kids and nothing costs more than $3 (it is not a farmers market or anything like that. It is a fundraiser for their end of year trip... I hope that is ok lol)
I just finished knitting this project and it was so easy and enjoyable - thank you!!! I used a 6 weight yarn and size 13 needles so had to adjust as I went but that was really easy. I started with 70 stitches and realized halfway into the video that the pattern needed to be divisible by 11 so I got some good practice increasing 😆. I’m a beginning knitter and your video really broke down some previously intimidating techniques to make them simple and accessible. Thank you for making these videos!!
Will this pattern stretch out after a few washes? Ive been knitting a basic cable hat and find it always stretches out and is so wide it falls off my head. Im sad after all the work I put into it.
Hello Sara. Thanks again for this lovely hat I already knitted for my daughter. She loves it. I would like to knit for my 2 year old grand daughter you did mention that you will do cable pattern for kids too. So I am waiting when you upload the video for kids. Honestly I was looking at many cable pattern hats on RUclips but none were as easy and straightforward instructions like how you explain.your instructions are very very clear and easy to understand hats off to you. God bless you and yiur family. Best regards Jayshree 🙏
Thank you for this pattern and video! I have looked for an easy in the round pattern like this for a very long time. Your video clearly showed the steps and your descriptions were clear and understandable! Thanks! Deb in Minnesota
Hi, love your pattern and work. - Hope many skeins of this brand yarn is needed for one hat? - What is the brand of your circular needles? Looking for some. Thanks
Hi, thank you so much for your patterns! I have a quick quick question, if I want to make this beanie little tighter or smaller, how many less stitches I need?
I did this using DK yarn and 4 mm needle . It was just the size for may 1 1/2 year old granddaughter. It came out nice. First time I tried cable knitting. Thanks for the very clear explanation. 🙏 But I have no way of uploading a picture of my hat.
In my attempts to comprehend cables I noticed you seemed to bring your cable needle to the back. I was wondering. At what point is the cable needle brought forward? Did I over look a step?
Lovely thanks Sara I was waiting to knit in Circular needles for my adult daughter and myself. Thanks again . I love the way you explain the pattern and am able to understand and follow very easily. One question will yiu be doing adult gloves in cable design? I would like to knit matching gloves too.. Thanks again God bless 🙏
I like this pattern. Can I do on straight needles because I find difficult to join stiches. I am completely beginner. Can you show us how to do on straight needles please.
Yes you can. There’s another video that is knit in rows. Here’s the link where you can find it. It’s a light blue one youtube.com/@knittingforbaby?si=7jzR9YApUtRu1AgM
Hi I made this gorgeous hat but seems very big which maybe because I’m a loose knitter. Could you tell me the width and height of your hat please? I’m attempting a second one with slightly smaller needles. Thank you
Do you think it’d be possible to knit this hat with two colors? Like split right down the middle vertically? I haven’t made many hats that aren’t crochet and I can’t figure out a way to swap the colors halfway through each row cleanly
I have knit this hat twice now and love it but everytime it comes to the decrease I have some issues with the knit 3 together with getting the needles through (it’s very tight) . Can I do it by knitting 2 together instead or is there another decrease ? I’m still new to knitting and decreasing . Thank you!
Hi, I've just finished knitting the brim (120 St's, on 4mm needles using an Aran yarn) and it looks huge. I have just finished knitting another one of your patterns ( Easy knit ribbed hat for adult men and women) using Hayfield Bonus chunky tweed and it was perfect. Please tell me where I have gone wrong or is it supposed to look big ?
How does your purling method not result in a twisted stitch? P.S. Followed your baby hat/booties/mittens tutorials and they turned out great! Thank you! Edit: I figured it out. You're purling through the back loop. Man, this method is SO much better than what I was doing before. KFB saves the day again.
Love this hat. I just finished this hat with the straight needles from your video with 112 cast on. The hat fits great. I want to make it now with my round needles but why 121 cast on? I am afraid it will be too big 😢 Any ideas or how to make it smaller?
Hello! Love this pattern. I was wondering how I knit this in the round using kneed les that have a loop that is too long? Is it possible to knit it in the same way as you do with the babies hat?
Hello Sara. Can you please tell me from where do you buy your knitting needles. Can you send me.the link? I would like to order 16 inch circular needles different sizes like the one you are using in this video. The one that I have is bamboo and very long I find it difficult to knit in rounds. I would rather buy something like yours and different sizes if they sell in packs with 10 or 12 different sizes. Thank you very much Regards Jayshree
Q) For row 21, after you just added one stitch to have 121 total, you knit the entire row. Why do you alternate knitting in the front of one stitch and in the back of the next stitch? Oh! And at 10:23 where you start the first row after your first cable twists, why do you purl in the back of the stitches?
She purls from the back because it’s easier than purling from the front in my opinion. If she knitted in the back, which you can’t do in the round, she would purl the same way but in the front. When you are doing ribbing. If she purled in the front doing ribbing it would look twisted. But once she gets to straight putting..it really doesn’t matter…when not in a rib stick, it looks normal. It’s an old German or Russian way of knitting. It’s the way my mom taught me.
If you are using Aran yarn and 6mm circular needs (all I have at the moment) would you still cast on same amount of stitches? Thanking you in advance 😊

This looks really simple. I’m going to try making my very first hat!!! ❤❤❤
You can do it! Good luck 👍
Made a pink one and it is beautiful!! Thank you very much!!!

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your support 😊
I am SO happy I found you❣️❣️❣️Such beautiful knitting projects 🧶 ♥️
Thank you 😊
Hi, love your pattern and work.
- Hope many skeins of this brand yarn is needed for one hat?
- What is the brand of your circular needles? Looking for some. Thanks
I have a lovely dk 100g ball and a matching mohair. Together this makes no 4 weight. Would you still use 5mm needles and 120 sts?
Yes I would just cast on the same number of stitches and same needle size.
Hi, thank you so much for your patterns! I have a quick quick question, if I want to make this beanie little tighter or smaller, how many less stitches I need?
Just go down a full size needle and it will be smaller
Can you please tell me how to avoid a big gap between the cables?
Simply pull or tug on the yarn before and after making the stitch
@@knittingforbaby thank you 😊
Thank you for this amazing tutorial and adorable hat!
What is your gauge?
This is so cute! If I were to knit it for baby size, how many stitches would I need to cast on? I'm a beginner knitter ☺
Hi Sara i love this pattern can i do it on straight needles by following this pattern
Yes, but you will need to add 2 extra stitches to seam together
What head circumference is 120 stitches for?
Beautiful pattern
I did this using DK yarn and 4 mm needle . It was just the size for may 1 1/2 year old granddaughter.
It came out nice. First time I tried cable knitting. Thanks for the very clear explanation. 🙏 But I have no way of uploading a picture of my hat.
Wonderful!
Can I alternate the cable stitches to front and back, instead of just back (or front)?
In my attempts to comprehend cables I noticed you seemed to bring your cable needle to the back. I was wondering. At what point is the cable needle brought forward? Did I over look a step?
Lovely thanks Sara I was waiting to knit in Circular needles for my adult daughter and myself. Thanks again . I love the way you explain the pattern and am able to understand and follow very easily.
One question will yiu be doing adult gloves in cable design? I would like to knit matching gloves too..
Thanks again God bless 🙏
You’re very welcome ☺️ and no gloves. I’m afraid that’s beyond my knowledge lol.
Do you purl into the back of the stitch? Your ribbing looks so lovely and neat.
Yes. Just like I show you. I’m a combination continental Knitter.
I like this pattern. Can I do on straight needles because I find difficult to join stiches. I am completely beginner. Can you show us how to do on straight needles please.
Yes you can. There’s another video that is knit in rows. Here’s the link where you can find it. It’s a light blue one youtube.com/@knittingforbaby?si=7jzR9YApUtRu1AgM
I have a question, if you wanted to make it with smaller amount of starting stitches, what should be the formula?
I think you’d need to cast on multiple of 11 +5 - so if you cast on 82 stitches that would be 7x11=77 + 5 = 82
Okay nope it’s got to be a multiple of 11 don’t worry about the +5
Hi I made this gorgeous hat but seems very big which maybe because I’m a loose knitter. Could you tell me the width and height of your hat please? I’m attempting a second one with slightly smaller needles. Thank you
Mine is for a 22in head circumference and it measures about 10in including the brim.
Do you think it’d be possible to knit this hat with two colors? Like split right down the middle vertically? I haven’t made many hats that aren’t crochet and I can’t figure out a way to swap the colors halfway through each row cleanly
I’m not sure. Color work is not my forte 😅
I would love to knit this lovely hat , have you got a written pattern that I could print please ?
Yes here’s the link www.etsy.com/shop/crochetforbabystore
I have knit this hat twice now and love it but everytime it comes to the decrease I have some issues with the knit 3 together with getting the needles through (it’s very tight) . Can I do it by knitting 2 together instead or is there another decrease ? I’m still new to knitting and decreasing . Thank you!
Yes absolutely and you can decrease for one more row too.
Hi, I've just finished knitting the brim (120 St's, on 4mm needles using an Aran yarn) and it looks huge. I have just finished knitting another one of your patterns ( Easy knit ribbed hat for adult men and women) using Hayfield Bonus chunky tweed and it was perfect. Please tell me where I have gone wrong or is it supposed to look big ?
It could be the tension or double check the stitch count.
Fantastic pattern thanks

The tension when knit in the round is different so I would go with the 121 st instead which is why I added a few more. Good luck 👍
@@knittingforbaby Thank you for your reply. I did the round and tried with 110 stitches and it fit...weird right!
Hello! Love this pattern. I was wondering how I knit this in the round using kneed les that have a loop that is too long? Is it possible to knit it in the same way as you do with the babies hat?
Yes you can! Just used the magic loop technique and to make it smaller I’d have to adjust the pattern.
thanks
You're welcome! 😊
Could I use 16 in circulars?
Yes absolutely 👍

Hello Sara. Can you please tell me from where do you buy your knitting needles. Can you send me.the link?

BEAUTIFUL hat and pattern, thank you so much for sharing!!❤️🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼
You’re very welcome 😉
What age? If you want to knit for a 9 months baby, how many stitches do I need?
I’m sorry but I don’t know at the moment.
