Description ~ Cabling Without A Cable Needle - Jump Rope Hat

Cables have your brain in a twist? In this workshop we will demystify cabling without a cable needle (you of course are still free to use one if that makes you more comfortable!), how to read cable charts, and how to decrease with cables. We'll knit up the Jump Rope Hat together and have you knitting cables like a champion in no time! Please note this hat comes in 2 sizes. The average adult head will fit size S/M at 21" circumference. The M/L will fit an above-average head circumference at 23", so chose your sizing carefully. Keep in mind cables have a lot of stretch, so S/M will work well for most.
