Constantine

Pattern updated Sept 2022

This cosy worsted weight hat was born on Constantine Bay beach in Cornwall, UK. The pattern is fairly simple to knit up and makes a great TV project! The cables remind me of ripples in the sand. The hat is worked in the round from the cuff up and consists of knit and cabled stitches which are easily memorised.
