The slouchy hat season is coming! And a textured beanie designed with cable crochet stitches would never out of style. Here’s my Eternal Cable Hat to match with the Eternal Cable Scarf.

Materials: ( I used )
5mm crochet hook
Worsted weight yarn: silver grey ( about 80 gr for the sample – adult size/ 50 gr or 125 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Faux fur pompom: White grey shades ( optional )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂
Special stitch used:
2×2 fpdtr left cross: ( worked over 4 sts )
skip next 2 sts, fpdtr around each of next 2 sts 2 rows below, working in front of the fpdtr just made, fpdtr around each of 2 skipped sts 2 rows below.
2×2 fpdtr right cross: ( worked over 4 sts )
skip next 2 sts, fpdtr around each of next 2 sts 2 rows below, working behind of the fpdtr just made, fpdtr around each of 2 skipped sts 2 rows below.

skip next 3 sts, fpdtr around each of next 2 sts 2 rows below, working behind fpdtr just made, sc in 3rd skipped st, working in front of fpdtr just made, fpdtr around each of first 2 skipped sts 2 rows below.
