take a stroll down October Road...

Welcome October Road — a deceptively simple cabled beanie for everyone. Just in time for crisp fall weather, this juicy cabled hat features simple 3x3, 2x2, and 1x1 cables that pack a huge visual punch. As I said, this hat is deceptive in its simplicity, making it ideal for cable novices looking for a confidence booster or for a seasoned pro’s go-to hat project.

This beanie is for everyone, making this sweet little hat perfect for gift knitting too, with its unisex appeal and a hella-a-lotta stretch to fit a 19” - 23” head circumference. Two brim options are provided for a doubled- or single-brim, depending on your fit preferences.

As always, I’ve provided an optional tubular cast on for a polished finish, which — IMHO — is a great way to practice a tubular cast on before forging ahead on a sweater.

Made in soft, plump, spongy De Rerum Natura Gilliatt, brings the cables to life and the coziness is at 1000%. The samples used Merlot and Foret colorways, but Gilliatt has every possible gorgeous color imaginable for your dream beanie.

The best part about this hat is it’s FREE! All you have to do is sign up for my newsletter (or check your inbox for my most recent newsletter!) and get October Road as a FREE download on Ravelry. It will zip right on into your Ravelry library for safekeeping always.

Happy Fall, y’all!
