This cable stitch hat hanger is the perfect fix for any clutter of accessories. I’d have seen cap organisers on Pinterest with some different crochet, macrame and knitted designs.
I hadn’t tried cable crocheting but always loved the look. They consist of front post and back post stitches which I have tried in the textured hat pattern. But getting this 3D textured look via cables always seemed super confusing.
The Unraveled Mitten had a fantastic tutorial on cable crochet which clear pictures and a great video breaking down the steps.

Cable Stitch Hat Hanger Tips
- This pattern is one size for all
- Please use Aran yarn with 4mm hook so the stiches are tight
- The base of the pattern uses Trebles and the cables use Double Trebles
- There are a total of 7 different stitches used
- Chains (CH)
- Trebles (TR)
- Double Trebles (DTR)
- Front Posts (FP)
- Back Posts (BP)
- Crab Stitch for the bars that the hat rest in (CRB)
- iCord across the top to hang from (you can also use a simple Chain)
- The project starts at the bottom and works upward
- For each row, the Chain 2 does not count as a stitch. This will build the height and avoid gaps in the work
- When you see INC, this means to increase so you work 2 of the same stitch in 1 place
So, lets get started and make this cable stich hat hanger.
