Two weeks ago I blogged about the \u201cCabled Slouchy Beanies<\/b><\/i><\/a>\u201d that I designed and crocheted for Myla and I. \u00a0Thank you so much for all the warm feedback you\u2019ve given me about that pattern, and I\u2019m delighted to hear that you found my step-by-step tutorial easy to follow and understand! \u00a0Cabling in crochet really isn\u2019t that difficult once you get the hang of it, and I\u2019m glad that you\u2019ve enjoyed learning this new technique and making cabled beanies of your own!<\/p>\n

Before crocheting those beanies using worsted weight yarn, I actually started off by crocheting a \u201cChunky Cabled Slouchy Beanie<\/b>\u201d using super bulky yarn<\/b>! \u00a0I had always wanted to make a super chunky beanie, and I wanted to try the cabling technique I had learned from my \u201cCabled Wrist Warmers<\/i><\/a>\u201d with this hat. \u00a0I loved this gorgeous mustard yellow yarn called \u201cGoldenrod<\/i>\u201d in \u201cLoops & Threads Cozy Wool<\/i>\u201d. \u00a0I needed about 2 skeins of this yarn to make this beanie (including the pom pom with some yarn left over).<\/p>\n

This beanie is constructed the exact same way as the \u201cCabled Slouchy Beanie<\/b><\/i><\/a>\u201d! \u00a0Of course, the numbers are very different since you are using super bulky yarn (level 6) versus worsted weight yarn (level 4). \u00a0You start off by crocheting the ribbed band! \u00a0I used a 10 mm hook<\/i> with this project, and I must warn you that my beanie ended up stretching A LOT<\/b>! \u00a0Thus, I would recommend trying to adjust for this by either making your ribbed band smaller than you think it should be or perhaps using a smaller crochet hook (maybe an 8 or 9 mm).<\/p>\n

You then work double crochets around the edge of the band, and then begin your cabling in the subsequent rounds. \u00a0Please refer to the very detailed step-by-step pictures and instructions I wrote up regarding cabling HERE<\/b><\/i><\/a> in my \u201cCabled Slouchy Beanie<\/b><\/a>\u201d post! \u00a0The technique is exactly the same!<\/p>\n

I ended up doing 4 sets of chunky cables<\/b>! \u00a0Don\u2019t the cables look so plump and textured? \u00a0I was curious what more delicate cables would look like after making this beanie, which is why I made the other beanies with worsted weight yarn for Myla and I!<\/p>\n

I then used my \u201cClover Pom Pom Maker<\/b><\/i><\/a>\u201d to make a super fluffy yellow pom pom using the super bulky yarn! \u00a0You can read my review about this awesome pom pom maker tool HERE<\/b><\/i><\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

After attaching the pom pom, this was my finished \u201cChunky Cabled Slouchy Beanie<\/b>\u201d! \u00a0Doesn\u2019t it look so warm and soft?<\/p>\n
