Penderyn

A beautiful dark heather and a gorgeous subtly shaded yellow, paired with a slight halo and some fun cables. Penderyn is my favorite kind of hat! This Black and Blue DK from Midwinter Yarns is both soft and sheepy, and the different shades and depth in this fiber really make the cables pop. The cables themselves are quite interesting, with center twists and outer brackets that easily morph into both a cool brim pattern and a beautiful crown. I'm always a fan of a pom, and with the generous yardage on the Black and Blue DK, I had to add one to the yellow hat - but I also knit a second hat from stash just so you can see the detail. (Stash hat is knit in Berroco Lanas, in the Sage Colorway) **Yardage by size:** ***Sizes***: 18.5(21.5,24.5)"/47(54.5,62.25)cm circumference. 8.5(9.25,9.25)"/21.5(23.5,23.5)cm deep. Sizes based on final blocked fabric. Hat can stretch a little when worn, so if between sizes, choose the smaller of the two. ***Yarn*** 175(200,225)yards 160(185,205)meters Heavy DK or light worsted weight yarn needed. I suggest a subtly shaded or solid colorway so detail will show up, and a yarn with a bit of memory for a well fitting hat. Swatch in cable pattern to be sure of gauge. Overall size of hat can be adjusted by working pattern in a different gauge, and hat depth can be adjusted by working a shallower or deeper brim. Cable instructions are both charted and written.
