Faux Cable Cap

The Faux Cable Cap is a practical accessory for women, especially for those with long, straight hair, because it helps prevent hat lines. It works up quickly in worsted-weight (#4) yarn on a bulky or mid-gauge flatbed machine. No ribber or electronics are required so the Faux Cable Cap makes an ideal project for the LK150, Brother KX350, Brother 230 and more! Plus you only need 2.5 to 3 ounces of yarn.

Watch the video tutorial to learn the techniques to make this knit cap from start to finish! This is the companion pattern for the video How to Machine Knit the Faux Cable Cap!

Since it is knit sideways in one piece,  the crown and rolled brim are shaped as you go.  The cap simply flies off the machine fully seamed and is ready for the final touch… Faux Cables!  This unusual construction also lets you choose the knit or purl side as the background for the faux cables. Since faux cables simply imitate a real knit cable, they look fantastic and are easy to add!

The pattern includes four women’s  sizes so everyone on  your gift list will be happy!

Then…why not make a matching Faux Cable Scarf or Faux Cable Cowl?
