I’ve gone back and forth about whether I should post this or not, because this pattern is so closely related to someone else’s pattern. I’m fuzzy on how many changes you have to make before a pattern is considered “yours”…but there have been quite a few requests for these, and the original pattern was free, and I did make quite a few changes…so, witout further ado…
Cabled Baby Hats
Mad props to the SweaterBabe, whose own cabled beanie pattern inspired these variations.
Size: Newborn, Preemie (shown)
Supplies:
- one skein Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran (newborn) or Baby Cashmerino (preemie)
- needles: US8 (newborn) or US3 (preemie); two 16″ circs, or one 16″ circ and a set of DPNS (or a big long one if you do magic loop)
- cable needle
- tapestry needle (for finishing)
Gauge: oops, I’m not sure. (Relax, they’re baby hats.)
Instructions for Five-Cable Hat:
CO 80 sts, pm, and join to work in the round.
Work 6 rounds of 2X2 ribbing.
R 7-9: *K6, P2* around
R 10: *K6, p2, C6F, P2* around
R 11-17: *K6, P2*
R 18: *K6, p2, C6F, P2* around
R 19-25: *K6, P2*
Now, the decrease rows start….
(switch to two circs or DPNs when it gets too small to fit on the 16″ needle)
R 26: *SSK, K2, K2tog, P2, C6F, P2* (70 sts)
R 27: *K4, P2, K6, P2*
R 28: *SSK, K2tog, P2, K6, P2* (60 sts)

R 34: *K1, P1, SSK, K2tog, P1* (25 sts)
R 35: *K1, P1, K2tog, P1* (20 sts)

Pull yarn through remaining sts with a tapestry needle. Pull through to inside, and weave in all ends.

R 18: *K6, p2, C6F, P2* around
R 19-21: *K6, P2*
R 22: *C6F, p2, k6, p2*
R 23-25: *K6, P2*
Now, the decrease rows start….

R 27: *K4, P2, K6, P2*
R 28: *SSK, K2tog, P2, K6, P2* (60 sts)
R 29: *K2, P2, K6, P2*
R 30: *K2tog, P2, K6, P2* (55 sts)
R 31: *K1, P2, K6, P2*

how might i adjust this for a toddler and a kid (7) size? I would really like to make matching hats for my twins and my 7 year old. I am making the baby size now – this is my first cable project and your instructions are sooooooo clear!!! Thank you. I love that you give preemie sizes – my twins were micropremies and i try to make hats for the nicu when i can – parents really do appreciate getting something special and handmade – especially when the babies are having a bad day.

Question: Pattern instructions for the “Cabled Baby Hats” reads: “CO 80 sts, pm, and join to work in the round.” What does “pm” stand for?

For the 10-cable knit hat I am lost as to what the “C6F” part in the below line means. Does this mean to cast on again? Thanks!
R 10: *K6, p2, C6F, P2* around
November 13, 2007 at 1:14 pm
Julie
C6F = cable 6 forward. Slip 3 stitches to your cable needle and hold to the front of the work. K3, then knit the 3 stitches from the cable needle. 😀

enchantedhunters
thanks so much for this pattern!
things have been going along peachily; but i just got to the decreasing stage, and am a bit mystified by “SSK” — is that “slip slip knit,” meaning: slip two stitches knitwise to the the right needle and then knit the next stitch?
i did this, and things seem a bit hairy for me, now — not ending up with the right number of decreases at the end of the row 26 / 27.
thanks for the guidance!

I used the 5-cable pattern for our first baby (one in pink, one in blue) – we don’t know if we’re having a girl or a boy, so one will go to our baby, the other will be donated to the hospital. Thank you!

Hi! I love your pattern and would love to make one in a toddler/child size. A friend of mine lost her baby after 9 days to trisome 18. He wore a very similar hat and it was sort of his trademark. I would like to make 2 hats for the mom, one for her little girl (5 yr) and another for her son (3 yr). I have tried a bit with the same pattern and larger, thicker yarn, but it just comes out “thick.” I love the Debbie Bliss cashmerino… I know I am imposing, but if you had some time, would you be able to do me a huge favor and modify the pattern for an older toddler/child? I would be sooo grateful, and I will take photos of the new hats and send them to you to show you my thanks. :o) I am just not that good with the mathematics of knitting, and the decreasing/increasing (yet).
Thanks!! :o)
September 2, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Julie
Hi Michon, I’m so sorry to hear about your friend’s loss 😦
For toddler/small child, I would go down one needle size and cast on 96 stitches instead of 80 and follow the instructions as written, adding a little more height (possibly repeating rows 18-25 before starting the decreases). I’m sorry that I don’t have time to test it…I’m in the midst of a really time sensitive project…but that is definitely where I would start!

For anyone wanting to make larger sizes of this-one option is to just increase the number of cables and wait longer for the decreases. I made a hat for my toddler like this and I plan on making an adult sized 5 cable hat for my fiance-obviously it wont be a 5 cable hat anymore, but its the same idea. Just make sure you add 2 sets of cables for the 10 cable hat or it’ll mess up the decreases at the end. (ie, 12, 14, 16 cables, etc)

Lisa
Hi,
i really want to try this pattern, and I just want to run my materials by you. I’m ready to try cabling, but I am still a youngin at knitting, so I’m a little cautious before I start.
it is for a newborn, and my yarn is 100% cotton worsted weight (size 4/medium) gauge is 16sts/1inch.
will 80 sts around be too wide a hat for a newborn?
what is the measurement of the circumference of the hat when it is through according to the pattern?
Thanks,
January 18, 2010 at 9:25 am
Julie
Lisa, if you are knitting 4 sts/inch in pattern, then the hat will probably be too big; 4 sts/inch x 80 sts = a 20″ hat, which is more adult-sized. I would recommend using a DK weight yarn if you don’t want to do a bunch of math 🙂
January 18, 2010 at 9:27 am
Julie
Haha, let me emphasize that you need to knit your swatch in-pattern (cabling and all) and my comment was based on the assumption that you did that. If your swatch was in stockinette, re-do it….you may find that your gauge is very different!
January 19, 2010 at 1:12 pm

I just started teaching myself to knit this past week, and I am confused on the ribbing. Am I using one 16″ circular needle to start? And is it supposed to look kind of crazy after you join and do the first round? The sts seem kind of tight and sloppy looking?
Thanks a lot!
Oh I also knitted the earflap hat and I love it!!Thanks
January 19, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Julie
Becca, yes, one 16″ circ, and in my opinion ribbing always looks wonky when you are just starting, until you’ve knit a few rows. 😉

How will I make the correction for the decrease rows beginning with R26?
Can you please help me? Thanks.
Jeanne Zipser
February 14, 2010 at 10:17 pm

Jeanne, you can just sort of reverse the instructions….you’ll notice that each 6-stitch section is flanked by two P2s….so just switch them (i.e., row 26 would be *C6F, P2, SSK, K2, K2tog, P2* instead of *SSK, K2, K2tog, P2, C6F, P2*).

Hi Julie,
I wanted to make this hat for my 4 mo. old son. I tried the 5- cable newborn pattern, but his head is too big (17 in around). I was wondering if you had any advice on how to adjust your pattern to make it fit.
Also, what do you think about knitting it in bamboo?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Julie,
I am dying to make your cable hat..however, I have a couple of questions which I would be very grateful if you could answer. I an fairly new to knitting in the round….Does US8 and US3 refer to the size of the 16″ circs and dpns? Later the pattern says switch to two circs or dpns. So ,does that mean I start on normal needles?Secondly, how do I divide 80 stiches on 3 dpns or should I use 4?
Confused!

I’m sort of a beginner. I know the basics of knit and purl. How to rib. But I have made anything with cables I guess is what it’s called. If anyone can help me with what C6F and SSF are and how to do it I’d really appreciate it. I’m wanting to make this for my son. It is super cute.

I love this hat but without the gauge and the final measurement, I don’t know how to modify the pattern to fit my 8 month old whose head circumference is 18 inches. And I really want to because I love the hat!

Hi Melanie. I made a bigger hat by using Julie’s instructions from September 2, 2008. Using size 7 needles, I cast on 96 stitches and repeated rows 18-25 twice. My year old son has a 19 1/4 inches head circumference. It just fit him with no room to spare! Hopefully this helps. I don’t know the gauge but when I did rows 18-25 twice it added an inch to the hat.
I am going to try another one with 112 stitches cast on and repeat 18-25 four times so it will fit my son better.

Hello! Thanks so much for sharing this pattern. I made the 5 cable hat and the pattern read pretty well. This was my first time attempting cables and they turned out so cute.
I was going to post the hat on instagram but wanted to give you credit for the pattern. Do you have a hashtag name I can include? I am new to instagram and haven’t had much practice adding links to others.
Thanks!
