Chunky Cable Knitted Hat Pattern

I love hats knitted with thick yarn because they are warm, can be made quickly and also look great! They are great in the winter and the fur pompom gives it a look like it is from a store.

This pattern is fairly easy if you know how to use a cable needle and the other basic knitting skills for making a hat. If you do not know some of the parts in the pattern you can always look at a video. If you would like to buy a printable version of this pattern that is ad-free, click here.

I love knitting, and it is a great activity to do if you are waiting around or looking for a new craft! I even do it when I am watching shows or movies.
