I wanted to crochet cabled hat for some time now and finally I have it ready. The pattern is for approximately 0-6 months old babies. The brim is very stretchy, which is good and the hat fits for longer. The hat is worked from the brim up to the top. The brim is worked in rows then joined together and folded.
