great pattern
lovely pattern perfect for anyone and easy to do
Cabled toque
I knit this toque for my nephew who just immigrated from the Cayman's to Canada. The pattern was very easy to follow and fit him perfectly. The only change i made was to reduce the number of cast on stitches. He is thrilled with his new hat...still adjusting to our winter weather!!
Easy to follow
Okay, I’m still on the ribbing. But I have read the pattern through, and it seems very clear and the format is easy on the eyes. Thank you!
A pattern that makes you feel proud
I was very intimidated by knitting a cable pattern, but this was very easy to follow with a quick YouTube tutorial for a couple of stitches I didn’t know. I knitted this flat and sewed it together and came out perfect! My boyfriend is a fan and now everyone in my family wants one. When he put it on, I thought, “I can’t believe I made this! Me!” Thanks for this pattern!
man-approved cabled hat
This is a fairly straight forward pattern which results in a very beautiful hat. I think I only repeated the cable 4 times though, instead of 5.
Easy to follow
I was a bit overwhelmed by the lengthy instructions for the decreases, but they turned out easy enough to follow, even for a beginner. The resulting hat is pretty impressive.
Man (or Woman) Approved Hat
Part of the EFA Winter "Alongs" I just love cables, they just make knitted items POP. This was an easy pattern to follow and Chandi has a great You Tube video on how to do cables without a cable needle.

Man-Approved Beanie
This pattern is fabulous. I had never done a cable, but wanted to make a pretty beanie as a Christmas present for my brother-in-law. This knit up fabulously. The instructions are clear and I made two in four nights. Will totally make it again.

I love cable stitch patterns. This pattern was easy to follow & work. I might shorten the ribbing for my son but other then that absolutely love!

Great pattern
I made this as a gift for my dad. It was a fairly quick knit and fun too. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. I'm definitely making this again.

My son chose this pattern for himself, and I was very pleased with the fast knitting and easy-to-follow instructions. I especially like the pattern the corwn decreasing rounds form. Definitely worth its price.
