Simonside Beanie Hat Pattern

"Like meringue peaks this hat is so soft and textural, perfect for a quick impressive gift if you’re in a hurry. Worked up in Chunky weight yarn you’ll be shocked how fast you’ll finish it. The cable is actually very easy although it looks more complex, it’s a great project for those who want to practice their cabling skills." Enjoy! Jo x
