I set out to crochet myself a toque, not really having a plan, other than wanting a ribbed band. I achieved that with alternating front and back post double crochets. I was visiting with my neighbour, who is becoming a good friend, and she suggested I make the top with cables. She’s a knitter but knew you can crochet them, too, so I googled crochet cables and found a pattern I could understand (the first one I tried was a disaster)
