Hello crochet friends! A few weeks ago I shared on Instagram a beanie I was working on with a vertical cable and now that it has been tested a few times I am very excited to share the finished pattern with you! Originally I only created the beanie version but I thought it would work great as a slouchy hat too (this is now my fav. slouchy hat!) so I have both options written within the pattern.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Crochet cables are not the simplest instructions to write out so I've also included a short photo tutorial for the turning rows of the cable.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope this short photo tutorial was of some help, if you still need help you can message me on facebook, email (byjennidesigns@gmail.com) me or leave a comment here.
Wow! This is awesome! Thank you so much. I love the look of this hat, and I can't wait to make one. Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThis is darling, thank you for sharing your beautiful pattern with us.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't wait to make it
ReplyDeleteI love the grey, black & white also. Thanks so much for the free pattern!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and I really want to make it. But I have difficulty at very beginning. Why do I get 36 stitches on Row 4?
ReplyDelete2+1+(2+1)+(3*7)+1+1+6+1=36
Is there a fpdc before join on 4 row as the end of row 3?
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a beautiful hat pattern... For round 3... I think I'm doing something wrong.
ReplyDelete"Ch 1, 2 dc in same, dc in next. *2 dc in next, dc in next.* Repeat *to* 4 more times. Fpdc around next, dc, fpdc around 6, dc, fpdc around last" leaves me with 2stitches left unworked :(
Please help!
If you'd like to send me a photo to my email (byjennidesigns@gmail.com) or on facebook at facebook.com/byjennidesigns I could probably help you better. My only guess would be maybe you need to work one more of the repeat? How many stitches do you have at the end of row 3?
DeleteI understand it now. I was sleep deprived so I was misreading the last part of that round. Thank you for responding so quickly!
DeleteI'm so glad to hear that, no problem :)
DeleteI am having the same problem! I've redone it 3 times now and still end up with 2 stitches left at the end of row 3. How did you fix it?
DeleteBonsoir en fait votre problème proviens du rangs Numéro 3 a la fin il manque un point fpdc sur le modèle si vous regardez bien il compte 27 m au lieu de 28 cela devrai donc être
DeleteRang 3 : Ch 1, 2 ms dans le même rang , ms ensuite * 2 ms dans le suivant, puis 1 ms * Répéter * jusqu'à * 4 fois de plus Fpdc vers la prochaine, dc, fpdc vers 6, dc, Fpdc (28)
I'm confused. Your picture (6th one down) has the stitches (fptr) identified as 3,2,1 and 3,2,4. Shouldn't those be 3,2,1 and 6,5,4?
ReplyDeleteHi, if you look at the photo again you will notice two of the stitches are marked as "skipped" and the other is showing the fptr's in the order they should be worked.
DeleteJust wanted to say thank you for the beautiful pattern! I will be uploading a picture of my complete projected to your facebook very soon! Keep up the amazing work!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I would love that, can't wait to see! :)
DeleteBoth of these hats are awesome! Can't wait to make them! Question, where did you get the wicker head mannequin? I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! My mannequin was given to me by my grandmother, it was her mothers. :)
DeleteThank you so much! Is a gorgeous pattern. I made it with a chunky Charisma yarn. I had to make a couple of adjustments. But it came up beautifully!!!
DeleteI bet that turned out really pretty Aracely!
DeleteI keep ending up with 30 stitches at the end of row 3. I had 22 stitches at the end of row 2, but after doing 6 FPDC in row 3, I still have 4 stitches to work in before the end of my row. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteHi Brady, it's really hard for me to help without seeing your piece. If you can send me a quick pic and message on facebook @ www.facebook.com/byjennidesigns I would be very happy to help.
DeleteI have the same issue, i still have 4 stitches to work before the end of raw 3. can you post a video?
DeleteHi Jenni! I was just wondering if it's ok to sell hats made from your pattern on Etsy?
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, I don't mind at all if you sell hats made from my patterns! Thanks for taking the time to ask first.
DeleteCan you post a video? I am lost in raw 3. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI will be sharing a video tutorial for this pattern very soon, when I do I will be sure to share the link with you here.
DeleteThank you! Another beautiful pattern.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Laura!
DeleteSomething isn't adding up on row 3. I think something is missing after the * to *
ReplyDeletePlease check! Thank you!
Hi Marcy, row 3 should read as follows:
DeleteRow 3: Ch 1, 2 dc in same, dc in next. *2 dc in next, dc in next.* Repeat *to* 4 more times. Fpdc around next, dc, fpdc around 6, dc, fpdc around last. Join. (28)
If I wanted to change colors for the side how would I do that?
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie, sorry to just now be getting to your question. I haven't tried changing the color yet for the cable but it definitely could be done by joining a new color for those stitches.
DeleteHi. I made this hat and it was was over sized and i followed beanie.when making the cable stitches, does that part of beanie look smaller.?
DeleteI'm wondering if u ever got around to doing a video because I can't figure out the cable. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI’m having issues in row 3. Not sure if it is because I am a lefty. Was there ever a video posted?
ReplyDeleteHello what a fast fun and easy pattern! I do however have a few questions... is this the pattern in its entirety? I noticed there is no bpdc/ bptc and also I'm using a worstweight yarn with an I hook as recommended for your pattern and the only crossing I see is the fptc any suggestions? Tia
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculously perfect Beanie! Excellent design with professional look, just love it - Thanks for sharing your talent!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever make a video for this hat?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find you on facebook, but I just finished this hat and I love it! It was a quick pattern and it turned out beautiful! Thank you for sharing this one! <3
