The Big Fat Cable Hat is a fun, fast, and satisfyingly squishy project inspired by the knitters of Instagram, who continually delight the community with photos of their gorgeous cabled creations. This free pattern showcases seven bold, oversized 12-stitch cables that pop dramatically against a background of reverse stockinette, creating a richly textured hat that looks far more complicated than it is. Knit in chunky yarn, it works up quickly—perfect for last-minute gifts, cold-weather emergencies, or simply treating yourself to a cozy new accessory. The hat can be styled however you like: wear it tall and pointy for a playful, modern look, or shape it into a more rounded crown for classic winter warmth. Helpful notes from silversheep’s project page offer easy customization: decrease on every round instead of every other round for a smoother, less pointy top, or knit the brim to at least three inches if you’d like a fold-over edge for extra snugness around the ears. Versatile, warm, and irresistibly textured, the Big Fat Cable Hat is a joyful knit that invites creativity and keeps your head beautifully cozy all season long.
