Free Crochet Cable Hat Pattern: Rockin’ the Cables
Rockin’ the Cables is a free crochet cable hat pattern you will love. You can make yourself for your family and friends. I designed this hat with a unique band that I found very appealing. The cables rock the band and crown in opposite directions. I used Carons Simply Soft and a G and H hook.
