  Dive right into your first cable project with this instructional and playful BT by Brooklyn Tweed pattern. We purposefully designed the First Cables Hat for new cable knitters, complete with clear explanations and easy charted and written instructions. This timeless design features basic stitches, simple shaping and an approachable 4-stitch cable cross and can be knit into a classic beanie or watchcap style. Five fun variations are included in the pattern’s downloadable companion, making this a chameleon project that will hold your interest long after you have mastered cable knitting.

  This pattern is part of our BT by Brooklyn Tweed pattern line and is our free gift to you with the purchase of at least 2 skeins of DK weight yarn — simply add your yarn and pattern to the cart and enter code: first_cables_btxbt at checkout.
