Liana bulky cable hat knitting pattern:

Using smaller size circular needles, cast on 76 stitches. Cast on 1 extra stitch if you are using invisible joining method.

Place marker and join in round. Rib k1, p1 until beanie reaches 14 cm if you want a folded brim, or 7 cm if you want a hat without brim.

Body of the bulky cable knit hat:

Change to larger needles. In the next round we are going to increase by adding 26 stitches evenly around. To do this I have divided the total number of stitches in 2 parts (use stitch marker as a helper) and added 13 stitches from one side and 13 stitches from other side. To increase use any technique you know. I am going to use knit one below increase.

The total number of stitches is 102. It could be less or more depending on the yarn weight but it should be divisible by 6.

Round 1: [p1, k1, p2, k1, p1] – repeat till the end of round.

Rounds 2-7: repeat Round 1.

Round 8: C3F– repeat till the end of round.

Round 9: [p1, k1, p2, k1, p1] – repeat till the end of round.

Rounds 10-15: repeat Round 9.

Round 16: p1, k1, p1, [C3B] – repeat right leaning cable until you have 3 sts, slip next 3 stitches to the extra needle and hold in back of work, remove stitch marker, p1, k1, p1 from the left-hand needle, place marker back, p1, k1, p1 from the extra needle. (You have already knitted 3 stitches of the next round).

Repeat Rounds 1-16 until your work reaches desired length – 19 cm.

In my case I have repeated one more time Rounds 1-12  and reached the desired length.

Shaping the crown of bulky cable knit hat:
