Cable Stitch Hat Pattern to Crochet

This simple cable stitch isn't quite the same as that worked in knitting, but adds a similar effect and a decorative touch to a basic hat made with simple single and double crochet stitches. Pair this simple cable stitch hat with the matching scarf (pattern can be seen here) for a unique accessory that will keep anyone toasty warm when temperatures fall. Make them to coordinate with your own winter wardrobe, or in neutral colors to have on hand for gift-giving.

Materials needed for the hat:

Approx 2-2.5 oz worsted weight yarn
Size J crochet hook
Large needle to weave in ends

Abbreviations Used:

Ch = chain
Sp = space
St = stitch
SC = single crochet
DC = double crochet
SS = slip stitch

A photo tutorial of how to do the cable stitch in this pattern can be seen here.

Hat crocheted from this pattern as written should fit most women. Switching to a smaller or larger hook will adjust hat size accordingly.
