This is an EASY lacy “faux cable” beanie or slouch hat. The mirror-image lace “cables” are reminiscent of smoke plumes wafting from a chimneystack on a chilly winter’s day. With two crown options, the easy-to-memorize lace pattern flows from a ribbed brim and works up quickly - using less than one skein of DK or Worsted yarn - and no cable needle required!
Note: For matching Fingerless Mitts and/or Cowls, check out my other listings. All three patterns are available for a discount in the SMOKESTACK COLLECTION E-Book.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A FINISHED ITEM. It's a PDF of a pattern so you can make your own hat.
Instructions are both written and charted. Worked seamlessly in the round from the brim up, this is ideal for lace newbies or advanced knitters. It stretches easily to fit teens/adults from 18-22”/45-56 cm.
