Azalea Beanie gives you the look of classic cables, but with a twist—it’s all faux cables, meaning no cable needle is needed! The texture is beautifully intricate yet surprisingly simple to create, making it an easy and quick project. It’s classic, cozy and warm, making it a great gift knit.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit as always!
