Faux Cable Hat

"Faux cable hat is a perfect knit hat tutorial for those who like cables but always struggle with cable tension. The pattern is perfect for beginners. Even though the hat has meshy structure it will be warm if you use wool blend yarn. In my example I was using Turskish yarn from Gazzal brand, medium worsted soft wool yarn and two pairs of circular knitting needles - 3.5 and 4 mm. Check my video tutorial for more instructions"
Knitting Needle Size4 or 3.5 mm, 6 or 4 mm
Yarn Weight(4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)
