Parterre Hat

With its satisfyingly intricate geometric cable pattern, the Parterre Hat evokes the puzzle-like arrangement of flower beds in formal gardens. The pattern includes three sizes, each requiring a single skein of DK weight yarn. Pair it with the coordinating [Parterre Scarf][2] for a classic gender neutral set. **Skills & Techniques** The Long Tail Cast On (optional), working a small circumference in the round, working four-stitch cables, and working decreases. Both charts and full written instructions are provided. **Materials Needed** 1 skein of Hedgehog Fibres Tweedy (50% Falkland Merino Wool, 37.5% Recycled Wool, 12.5% Thread Waste; 252 yds/230m per 100g skein), or 140 (170, 207) yds/128 (156, 189)m of DK weight yarn. Samples shown in the colours ‘Dreaming in Light’ (Size 1, yellow) and ‘Lullaby’ (Size 2, lavender). You will also need a cable needle, 1 end-of-round stitch marker, and a tapestry needle for weaving in the ends. **Finished Measurements** Sizes 1 (2, 3), relaxed and unstretched after blocking: 14.5 (16, 17.5)”/37 (40.5, 44.5)cm brim circumference, and 8 (8.5, 9)”/20.5 (21.5, 23)cm height.
