Braided Hat lovers, this one’s for you! I’m excited to share my Ava Braided Cable Knitted Hat Pattern, a cozy and stylish option for little ones. This pattern features beautiful braided cables, and it’s designed for beginners looking to try something new or for those with a bit of knitting experience. The hat is worked in the round, making it a fun and seamless project. I’ll walk you through every step so you can create a lovely knitted hat pattern that’s perfect for chilly days.
This pattern is designed for children ages 6-10 years, but don’t worry—there are instructions included on how to adjust the size for different ages. You’ll be using 12” round needles or double-pointed needles to complete the project. For the yarn, I recommend using Caron Soft & Shiny or Loops & Threads Joy DK, but any light weight (3) yarn will do. If you’re new to cables, don’t fret—I’ll explain everything in detail so you can make those beautiful cables without stress.
